We worry about starting conversations but the reality is that
我们担心如何开启对话，但实际情况却是……
most first-time meetings are really brief and they are the opportunities that we have to find connections,
大多数初次会面其实都很简短，而正是这些机会让我们能够建立起彼此之间的联系。
connections that you can use later on when you see that person again next time.
这些联系方式可以在你下次再次见到那个人时派上用场。
So don't think about this first conversation as being a huge commitment.
所以，不要把这次初次谈话视为一种需要承担重大责任的承诺。
It's brief, it's fast and you've got to hit some key points.
内容简短、表达迅速，你必须重点阐述一些关键内容。
So I'm going to break down each of those steps now but to do that, I'm going to share three different scenarios.
那么，我现在将逐一解释这些步骤；为此，我会分享三个不同的场景作为例子。
Meeting your neighbour, you've just moved into a new house.
你刚搬进一所新房子，正在和邻居见面。
At the office, you've been working there for a few months now but you see someone that you haven't met yet in the staff kitchen.
在办公室里，你已经工作了几个月了；不过在员工食堂里，你看到了一个之前从未见过的人。
When you're dropping your kids off at school and you see some of the other parents chatting outside the classroom.
当你送孩子们去学校时，会看到其他一些家长在教室外面聊天。
At each step, we'll talk about these three different scenarios so that you can see how my method applies in each of these different contexts
在每一步中，我们都会讨论这三种不同的情况，以便你能了解我的方法是如何在这些不同场景中应用的。
and I'll give you some examples.
我来举一些例子。
Step one, find an interesting point that connects you to this person in that moment.
第一步：找出一个有趣的点，这个点能让你在那一刻与这个人产生共鸣（或者说，能体现出你们之间的某种联系）。
It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
今天真是美好的一天，不是吗？
The weather is a perfect topic because most likely, you'll be outside when you're meeting your neighbour.
天气是一个非常适合聊的话题，因为当你去拜访邻居时，很可能会待在户外。
That smells good!
那闻起来真香！
What have you got for lunch?
你午餐吃了什么？
Usually, you run into people in places like the staff kitchen so we're using the context to start our conversation.
通常，你会在员工厨房之类的地方遇到其他人，因此我们会利用这些情境来开启对话。
Don't forget your lunchbox, Ted!
别忘了带上你的午餐盒，泰德！
