Welcome back to Speak English with Christina, where you learn fun, fluent, and easy American English.

歡迎回到 "和 Christina 說英語"，在這裡您可以學習有趣、流利、簡單的美式英語。

You know, before you can start talking to someone, like new colleagues, you need to introduce yourself.

你知道，在開始與人交談之前，比如新同事，你需要先自我介紹。

But it's not always easy when you arrive at a new office.

但是，當你來到一個新的辦公室時，並不總是那麼容易。

There are so many people, and you may be a little shy in English.

人太多了，說英語可能會有點害羞。

That's okay, because today you're going to learn how to introduce yourself in English.

沒關係，因為今天你們要學習如何用英語介紹自己。

Let's get it!

讓我們開始吧！

First, we both know how important it is to socialize and make small talk in English, right?

首先，我們都知道用英語進行社交和閒聊有多麼重要，對嗎？

Small talk is how we build relationships.

閒聊是我們建立關係的方式。

We make friends, and people see us as nice people.

我們會交朋友，人們會把我們視為好人。

And that's why I want to invite you to check out my small talk conversation coaching after you watch this lesson.

這就是為什麼我想邀請你在看完這節課後，去看看我的小型談話指導。

I'll give you the link at the end of the video, because I want you to stay here for the lesson with me first.

我會在視頻結尾給你們鏈接，因為我希望你們先留下來聽我講課。

Now, how do you introduce yourself in English?

現在，您如何用英語介紹自己？

When I started my job, my life felt really awkward when I met new colleagues.

剛開始工作時，遇到新同事時，我的生活感覺非常尷尬。

Awkward like no social skills, because I didn't know what to say.

我不知道該說什麼，就像沒有社交技巧一樣尷尬。

So, in English, where to start?

那麼，用英語來說，該從何說起呢？

Well, you can start with your name and your job or department.

那麼，你可以從你的姓名、工作或部門開始。

Simple, really.

其實很簡單。

You go up to someone, you approach someone, and you say, Hi, I'm Christina.

你走到某人面前，接近某人，然後說，嗨，我是克里斯蒂娜。

I just started as the project manager in the marketing department.

我剛開始擔任市場部的項目經理。

Hi, I'm Christina, and I just started as project manager in the marketing department.

大家好，我是克里斯蒂娜，剛開始在市場部擔任項目經理。

So, your name probably isn't Christina, and you may have a different job.

所以，你的名字可能不叫克里斯蒂娜，你的工作也可能不同。

So, for you, that would be, and say it with me.

所以，對你來說，那就是，和我一起說。

Hi, I'm, and I just started as, in the department.

你好，我是，我剛開始在這個部門工作。

All right, good job.

好的，幹得好

Step one, accomplished.

第一步，完成。

Then, the other person will, of course, introduce themselves, probably in a similar way.

然後，對方當然會介紹自己，可能也是用類似的方式。

You should respond with, nice to meet you.

你應該回答：很高興認識你。

That's easy.

這很簡單。

Nice to meet you, and it's always polite to show interest in other people.

很高興見到你，對別人表示興趣總是很有禮貌的。

So, a good question is, how long have you been working here?

那麼，一個很好的問題是，你在這裡工作多久了？

And it's always polite and friendly to share a little about yourself.

介紹一下自己總是禮貌而友好的。

After all, you don't want to just ask questions.

畢竟，你不想只問問題。

Small talk is like a ping pong game.

閒聊就像打乒乓球。

Sometimes you ask questions, sometimes you give information, and now it's time to give information.

有時你提出問題，有時你提供資訊，現在是提供資訊的時候了。

You can say a little about your job, your previous job, or your previous workplace.

您可以簡單介紹一下您的工作、以前的工作或以前的工作場所。

現在，回到我們的朋友，現在完成時的 "tits"。

To tell your new colleague a little about your experience.

向你的新同事介紹一下你的經歷。

You know, to impress them and also to give them just a little more information about yourself.
