C: Hi, Amy. 你在这儿太好了。我正好有个问题要请教你。 
A: What is it? 
C: 我开始在这儿工作以来,结识了不少人,到哪儿都会碰上,但却记不住他们的名字。 
A: I have a simple way to remember names. 
C: 那你快教教我,什么好办法。 
A: I have an acronym that helps me. 
C: 那是什么? 
A: An acronym is an abbreviation formed by using the first letter of words in a phrase or name. 
C: 我知道了,就是几个单词的英文首写字母的缩写。 
A: The acronym I use to remember names is FACE. F stands for focus。 你第一次见到一个人,首先要注意他的名字。 
C: 说起来容易,可我就是做不到。我总想着下面该说点儿什么。那你再说,A代表什么呢? 
A: The "A" is for ask. Repeat the name in the form of a question. For example, if you are introduced to Bill, 你就可以问, "Bill?" 
C: 听起来不奇怪吗? 
A: 当然不了. It is natural that you would want to verify the name and make sure you heard correctly. 越是不常用的名字,就越应该问清楚。 
C: 本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览  
A: The "C" is for comment. Make a comment about the person's name - a comment that connects the name to someone or something that you can recall later. 
C: 本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览 "Bill? As in President Bill Clinton?" 
A: 你真是一点就通。It is also a conversation starter so now you see why you don't need to worry about what to say next. It comes naturally. 
CH: 本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览  
M: "E" stands for employment. Employ means to use the name in conversation with the person. Using the name helps you remember it. 
C:本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览  
A:I am happy to repeat it. First you focus and think only of the other person's name. Next you ask or repeat the name in the form of a question. Then you make a comment about the name. Finally you employ or use the name while you are speaking with the person. 
C: Thank you. 本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览  |
