Everyone loves a good story, and sharing an anecdote is often a great way of making

small talk. For Americans, there are many topics that are okay to talk about with both

good friends and acquaintances, but some topics—like salary—are often avoided,

unless one is talking with close friends or family.

In China, which of these topics can you talk about with everyone: family, home life,

job, education, travel, salary, age, health, religion, friends, girlfriends or boyfriends?

每个人都喜欢听有趣的故事，因此分享奇闻轶事常常是小聊一会儿的最佳方式之一。对美国人来说，好朋友及熟人之间有很多话题可谈，但是有一些话题，如薪水，通常需要回避，除非是在和密友或家人之间交谈。在中国，一下那些话题是你能够和任何人谈论的呢：家庭、家庭生活、工作、教育、旅行、工资、年龄、健康、宗教、朋友、男朋友或女朋友？
