用英文社交的最高秘訣
你想要一些時間可以放輕鬆嗎?沒有比花時間和朋友相處來擺脫壓力更好的方式。這裡有一些方法可以在出去及和你的夥伴玩得很開心。
Hang out at the mall
當朋友hang out,那是表示他們非常放鬆而且在一起玩得很愉快。mall(購物中心)是最好的地方和朋友聚在一起及和你的朋友聊天。
Catch some rays
喜歡戶外嗎?去戶外及catch a few rays(享受陽光)在沙灘上。沙灘或公園是和你所認識的朋友享受陽光的理想地方。
Enjoy a cup of joe
咖啡廳是很好的一個地方能和你的朋友享受一杯咖啡。不-你不需要一個名叫Joe的朋友!cup of joe是指一杯咖啡而已。
Go window-shopping
這不是指你為了想買窗子而逛街!Window-shopping 意思是看-也許經過一家商店櫥窗-不買任何東西。
Shoot some hoops
下一次有人邀請你去公園及shoot some hoops,不用擔心,他們只是想和你打一場籃球!
Chow down at a fast-food joint
Chow down 簡單的意思是吃。fast-food joint 是最好的地方可以吃披薩或是漢堡,和chill out (放輕鬆)和你的 crew (一群朋友)。
Paint the town red!
是週末。開派對時間到了!和你的朋友一起出去和把城鎮染紅!紅色象徵開心和興奮。Painting the
town red意思是在晚上玩得很開心。
Caught a flick lately?
如果你的朋友邀請你去電影院catch a flick,他們只是想邀請你和他們去看一場電影。你不用真的去握住任何東西!
Keep it low-key
計畫放鬆心情,安靜的夜晚和你的一團朋友待在家裡?告訴他們你正low-key夜晚。這和出去及painting the town red是相反意思。
Grab some munchies and hit the road
和你的朋友一起汽車旅行。不要忘記抓一些爆米花,糖果或是其他的 munchies (食物,尤其是小點心)!

詢問Kate Kate解答您所有生活英語的疑惑!
Q:Dear Kate,
My friend and I are going to visit New York at the same time but we are staying at different hotels. I am supposed to call her hotel when I arrive, but I not sure what to say. When I call, is it better to say "Is Yoko Takahashi there" (my friend name) or "I want to speak to room 525?" Mayu, Tokyo, Japan A:Dear Mayu, If you know your friends room number, then it's best to say "Can you connect me to room #525, please?" The hotel representative will most likely ask you for the guest's name to confirm that you know her. Best, Kate
Q:Dear Kate,
There is a foreign girl I am liking very much but I do not know what to say to her to make her like me too. Can you please help me, Kate! Wong, China A:Dear Wong, hat's lovely that you've found a girl that you like. You don't want to scare her away, so make sure that you don't show all of you feelings until you know she feels the same way about you. Why don't you start by asking her to a low-commitment activity such as getting a cup of coffee or a drink? The next time you see her, try saying something like "Would you like to grab a cup of coffee" or "How about a drink tonight?" Based on her response, you will know if she is interested in you at all or not. Best, Kate
