  陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作,美籍华人Mary离开后,他马上结识了公司新来的美国同事Amy。看,他们正在喝下午茶。
2 e5 b; O3 X  g3 ?5 h% x$ i* S  (Office ambience)
. C; _7 w. ]' E; l" Q  C: Hi, Amy. 你在这儿太好了。我正好有个问题要请教你。 7 ~' {4 i: ?  d
  A: What is it?
- h  d) S- X3 M  C: 我开始在这儿工作以来,结识了不少人,到哪儿都会碰上,但却记不住他们的名字。
' D5 k. N. {0 y  t1 V; q/ z0 ~3 a! o  [  A: I have a simple way to remember names. 0 f! J8 _7 [' y
  C: 那你快教教我,什么好办法。
  A1 Q* q  k& m  A: I have an acronym that helps me. 7 ^4 H( ]$ K* e" k! i+ X
  C: 那是什么?
' E' Y9 r1 |8 H( B  A: An acronym is an abbreviation formed by using the first letter of words in a phrase or name.
* C2 R1 j' I4 a9 ]0 e8 D  C: 我知道了,就是几个单词的英文首写字母的缩写。 ; L7 n. k' B* n7 k+ ~9 M  u; N4 }
  A: The acronym I use to remember names is FACE. F stands for focus。 你第一次见到一个人,首先要注意他的名字。 9 U0 h% @' \  n' r/ p
  C: 说起来容易,可我就是做不到。我总想着下面该说点儿什么。那你再说,A代表什么呢?
5 H' ?" b4 i! N' D5 K: {  ]6 H  A: The "A" is for ask. Repeat the name in the form of a question. For example, if you are introduced to Bill, 你就可以问, "Bill?"
) u' q6 H6 K6 |5 I7 }/ r% M  C: 听起来不奇怪吗?
4 G6 {& C  ]# r  ?  A: 当然不了. It is natural that you would want to verify the name and make sure you heard correctly. 越是不常用的名字,就越应该问清楚。 : E8 u6 L/ p; d; s6 x
  C: 你说得确实有道理。别人让我重复自己的名字,是希望不会叫错,我会觉得别人这样做是尊重我。那C呢?
5 D( h1 S: ?! _; _0 Y1 I3 _  A: The "C" is for comment. Make a comment about the person's name - a comment that connects the name to someone or something that you can recall later. 6 W+ c2 r/ w! i. ?
  C: 你是说如果有人叫Bill,我就可以说"Bill? As in President Bill Clinton?"
, g6 s! r9 D8 ^; Z6 b: b* |7 c3 g* A: q  A: 你真是一点就通。It is also a conversation starter so now you see why you don't need to worry about what to say next. It comes naturally. . E4 O3 }4 S: M
  CH: 对呀。这样接下来就有话题了。那最后一个字母E呢?
/ f! `4 _0 l, G  M: "E" stands for employment. Employ means to use the name in conversation with the person. Using the name helps you remember it. & g4 E$ j9 p3 e% m% d: q! I. R4 |
  C:没错。有的时候多叫几次就记住了,而且还能让别人感觉你重视他。Amy,你能不能再重复一下FACE的用法。
; A8 {! i/ \( u+ X" S  A:I am happy to repeat it. First you focus and think only of the other person's name. Next you ask or repeat the name in the form of a question. Then you make a comment about the name. Finally you employ or use the name while you are speaking with the person. 6 C9 z: X! `/ F" a& i
  C: Thank you. 今天晚上我刚好有一个工作宴会,到时候一定要试试这个窍门。
