Why does it make foreigners awkward?这个问题为什么会让外国人尴尬?诊断 :问题内容没有问题,需要 specify it 问题具体化,比如:How are they different in treating their husbands.中西方女人对待老公方面有啥不同?支招 :可以用以下问题问,都会是非常好的聊天话题:√ In China,we have this tradition. Is there something like that in the West? √ In the west, are you comfortable with traditions like x,y,z…总之,问此类文化类问题,不要太笼统,另对方无法回答一定要记住两步走:1. Give an example 举个明确的例子2. draw out the question 抛出你的问题这样就可以 give them space to work with. 外国人会有可回答的空间。令外国人尴尬的话题排行榜第3名:Where are you from?诊断 :This question itself is not awkward.
