実践ビジネス英語(2013年4月12日分The Power of Small Talk)
small talk;どの学習辞書もほぼ同じだ。
LED, polite friendly conversation about unimportant subjects
OALD, polite conversation about ordinary or unimportant subjects, especially
at social occasions
people make at social occasions
I can't claim to be an expert at small talk, but I have read a number of
articles over the years with suggestions about what to say and how to
say it.
One recommendation I particularly liked was to regularly try new things,
in order to expand the range of subjects we can talk about.
