                 (Office ambience) 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。
