问题: What should we not talk about when we meet a person for the first time?

解析

When answering this question, you can talk about topics that are generally considered sensitive or inappropriate for a first meeting. For example, people usually avoid discussing personal finances, religion, or politics, as these subjects can be controversial or make others uncomfortable. You can also mention that it’s better to stay away from very personal questions, like asking about someone’s salary, relationship status, or family issues, because it might seem intrusive. Instead, it’s safer to stick to neutral topics like hobbies, work, or travel when meeting someone new.

回答这个问题时,你可以谈论一些通常被认为在首次见面时比较敏感或不合适的话题。例如,人们通常避免讨论个人财务、宗教或政治,因为这些话题可能具有争议性或者会让别人感到不舒服。你还可以提到最好避免问一些非常私人的问题,比如询问某人的薪水、感情状况或家庭问题,因为这可能显得很冒犯。相反,遇到新朋友时,最好坚持谈论中立的话题,比如爱好、工作或旅行。
