Today we're gonna talk about introductions.

情態助動詞 A2

I recently attended a conference where everybody asked me what do you do, where are you from, who are you basically.

我最近參加了一個會議，每個人都問我你是做什麼的，你來自哪裡，你基本上是誰。

Today we're gonna learn some phrases that are gonna help you in this situation so please watch this video up to the very end because we're not only going to go through phrases that you can use, we're also going to come up with little monologues that you can use and as a language learner what I've realized in the past you know 20 years since I've started learning English I've realized that memorizing certain templates and certain structures actually helps your brain a lot in stressful situations.

今天，我們將學習一些在這種情況下對你有幫助的短語，所以請把這段視頻看完，因為我們不僅要學習你可以使用的短語，我們還要學習你可以使用的小獨白，作為一個語言學習者，我在過去的20年裡意識到，你知道，自從我開始學習英語以來，我意識到，記住某些模板和某些結構實際上對你的大腦在壓力情況下有很大幫助。

So the next time you interact with native speakers and they ask you something you will have a template in your head that you can use right away.

這樣，下次當你與母語人士交流時，他們問你一些問題時，你的腦海中就會有一個模板，可以立即使用。

So let's dive into introductions in English.

是以，讓我們深入瞭解一下英語介紹。

Now one of the things that you have to into three different groups.

現在，你必須抽成三個不同的小組。

The first group is informal conversations.

Basically you're chatting with your friend.

The second group semi-formal and here you know it depends on where you are but for example in the U.S. when I go to a creator's conference and meet people who represent brands or other creators I think it's semi-formal because we're not 100% friends right away but we're not too formal and when we talk about formal situations basically when you interact with government officials or when you are interviewing for a job.

第二類是半正式的，在這裡，你知道這取決於你在哪裡，但例如在美國，當我去參加一個創作者會議，遇到那些代表品牌或其他創作者的人時，我認為這是半正式的，因為我們不會馬上成為百分之百的朋友，但我們不會太正式，當我們談論正式的情況時，基本上是當你與政府官員互動或當你面試工作時。

So we're gonna go through phrases for all of these situations.

是以，我們要針對所有這些情況來使用短語。

So when you need to introduce yourself first thing is it a formal situation such as a business meeting or is it an informal situation like a party?

那麼，當您需要首先介紹自己時，是在商務會議等正式場合，還是在聚會等非正式場合？

We start the introduction with a greeting.

Let's look at some phrases that we might use in more formal situations.

讓我們來看看在比較正式的場合可能會用到的一些短語。

At the beginning of formal events for example business meetings or interviews or formal dinners or even class use greetings like hello good morning good afternoon and good evening.

在正式活動開始時，如商務會議、面試或正式晚宴，甚至在課堂上都要使用問候語，如你好，早上好，下午好，晚上好。

If it's an interview you can say good morning thank you for considering me for this role.

如果是面試，你可以說早上好，謝謝您考慮讓我擔任這個職位。

Then we have semi-formal greetings and this is where your mind can be free.

然後是半正式的問候，這時你的思想可以自由發揮。

This is a slightly less formal way to say hello but still more appropriate than just saying hey when you talk to your co-workers who you don't know very well.

這種打招呼的方式稍顯不那麼正式，但還是比和不熟的同事哈拉時只說 "嗨 "更合適。

It's a more casual way of saying good morning.

這是說早安的一種更隨意的方式。

現在，"嗨 "顯然是最受歡迎的。

Then you can say hey, heya, hey there, what's up is my favorite, how's it going, how are you doing.

然後，你就可以說，嘿，你好，我最喜歡說 "你好嗎"、"最近怎麼樣"、"你好嗎"。

It's common in more informal language to leave out grammar words in greetings.

在非正式語言中，問候語中省略文法單詞是很常見的。

How are you doing often changes to how are you doing which is more informal.

How are you doing（你過得怎麼樣）經常被改成 how are you doing（你好嗎），後者更不正式。

Hey everyone, I'm thrilled to join this community.

大家好，我很高興能加入這個社區。

Now let's talk about general information.

Of course the first thing you want to talk about is your name.

當然，你想談的第一件事就是你的名字。

So you can say pleased to meet you, my name is Marina or just I'm Marina.

所以，你可以說很高興見到你，我叫瑪麗娜，或者直接說我是瑪麗娜。

You can also say I don't think we've met, may I introduce myself or hello it's a pleasure to meet you I'm Marina.

你也可以說，我想我們沒見過，請允許我自我介紹一下，或者你好，很高興認識你，我叫瑪麗娜。

Now it's funny so a lot of people in the U.S. know me as Silicon Valley Girl.

有趣的是，很多美國人都知道我是 "硅谷女孩"。

So sometimes I introduce myself which is kind of funny I tell people I'm Silicon Valley Girl and they're like oh yes I've seen your videos but then I tell them you can call me Marina this is my actual name.

所以有時我會做自我介紹，這很有趣，我告訴別人我是硅谷女孩，他們會說哦，是的，我看過你的視頻，但我告訴他們，你可以叫我瑪麗娜，這是我的真名。

So if you have a nickname online and people might know you by that nickname feel free to use it.

是以，如果您在網上有一個暱稱，而且別人可能通過這個暱稱認識您，請隨意使用。

It's kind of funny that I have three personalities and sometimes when I realize that the environment is very international I can say I'm Lingua Marina and people are like oh yeah Lingua Marina and some people still think my name is Lingua and I'm like no my name is Marina so you can call me Marina.

有趣的是，我有三種性格，有時當我意識到這裡的環境非常國際化時，我會說我是 Lingua Marina，人們就會說哦，是啊，Lingua Marina，有些人還以為我叫 Lingua，我就會說不，我叫 Marina，所以你們可以叫我 Marina。

I'm Silicon Valley Girl but my friends call me Marina.

我是硅谷女孩，但朋友們都叫我瑪麗娜。

By the way in North America people often use first names right from the start and the mood is very relaxed.

順便說一句，在北美，人們通常從一開始就使用名字，氣氛非常輕鬆。

This really surprised me when I first came to the U.S. and you know I was talking to formal venture investors and they're like yeah I'm Sam I'm like okay mister no no no Sam.

當我第一次來到美國時，這著實讓我吃了一驚，你知道，我在和正式的風險投資者交談時，他們會說，是啊，我是山姆，我就說，好吧，先生，不不不，山姆。

So everything is really informal and really relaxed that doesn't mean that people don't take this meeting seriously they do it's just the nature of formal and business communication in the U.S. is very friendly.

這並不意味著人們不認真對待這次會議，他們確實認真對待，只是在美國，正式商務交流的本質是非常友好的。

In other places though they might be more formal and use titles and last until they get to know you better.

但在其他地方，他們可能會更正式一些，使用頭銜，直到他們對你有更深入的瞭解。

In the USA there's an emphasis on personal space and this can affect greetings.

美國強調個人空間，這可能會影響問候。

A firm handshake is standard but respecting personal space is important.

堅定地握手是標準動作，但尊重個人空間也很重要。

Another fun story I've recently met a very important businessman from India in the U.S. and again I'm used to this culture now so I did a firm handshake he was like no what you need to do is give me a because in India the culture is completely different.

另一個有趣的故事是，我最近在美國遇到了一位來自印度的重要商人，同樣，我現在已經習慣了這種文化，所以我堅定地與他握手，他卻說："不，你需要做的是給我一個，因為印度的文化完全不同。

So I want you to understand that there are cultural differences but don't think of them too much you will basically understand what's going on once you are in the situation and that Indian businessman was really kind to just explain everything to me and when I said goodbye I made sure that I did it the correct way and we kind of laughed at it.

所以，我想讓你們明白，文化差異是存在的，但不要想太多，一旦你身臨其境，基本上就會明白髮生了什麼。

I think it was pretty cool but again when I first came to the U.S. and people were shaking my hand and men were shaking my hand in a strong manner I was like wow some people actually say it's a power move so the stronger the handshake is the more energy that person has so you know it's up to you what you're gonna do but remember that about the U.S. and other cultures and other cultures might stand closer or greet each other with a kiss on the cheek and that happens in France and they do two kisses on both cheeks and I just came back from France where people were doing that to me all the time even people who I met for the first time and again for me it was like you know in the U.S. we'll never do that so the first couple times I was a little bit nervous like what's going on but then again I got used to it this is this country everybody kisses each other and that's fine.

我覺得這很酷，但當我第一次來到美國，人們和我握手時，男人們握我的手很有力，我當時就想，哇，有人說這是一種力量的表現，所以握手越有力，那個人的能量就越大。我剛從法國回來，那裡的人總是這樣對我，即使是我第一次見到的人，對我來說就像你知道在美國，我們永遠不會這樣做，所以前幾次我有點緊張，就像發生了什麼事，但後來我習慣了，這是這個國家，每個人都互相親吻，這很好。
