D
當我們說:“很棒的比賽,不是嗎?”事實上我們是_______
A. 問問題
B. 開始一個重要的談話
C. 談論比賽
D. 開始寒暄
根據(jù)第二段的4-7行:
The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't it?" At bus stops, people may talk about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?"
寒暄的話題也取決于談話的地點。在足球比賽中,人們聊他們正在觀看的比賽:“很棒的比賽,不是嗎?”在公共汽車站,人們可能會談論交通系統(tǒng):“公共汽車服務很糟糕,不是嗎?”
可知,我們說的這句話只是開始寒暄,而并非真的在談論比賽。
