People person 善交际的人（口语）

Larry（LL）正在跟李华（LH）谈他最近回家看到哥哥和妹妹的情况。

LL: So, Li Hua, I just got back from seeing my family. It was a nice visit, and I was so impressed with my little sister Emily. She is such a people person.

LH: 你说你妹妹Emily是什么？A people person? Hey, Larry, 妹妹Emily当然是人嘛。

LL: Oh, a people person is someone who is good around people and likes people. Emily definitely is a people person, and she has what we call "people skills."

LH: 噢，原来people person就是喜欢而且善于跟人交往的人。

LL: Right, people skills include being friendly, being a good conversationalist, and making other people comfortable. So, seeing Emily again reminded me what a people person she is.

LH: 我真是很羡慕那些善于跟人交往的人。他们总是显得很友好、也很健谈，让人喜欢。 你哥哥Ron呢? 他也是a people person?

LL: No, Ron is very, very smart, but he is a not a people person. He likes to keep to himself, and when he is in a group, he doesn't talk very much.

LH: 我知道你哥哥Ron很聪明。他是不太爱讲话。原来他性格比较内向。你和你哥哥的性格是不是有点相似？   更多信息请访问：http://www.engbus.cn/

LL: Well, I think I am somewhere in the middle. I am not as much of a people person Emily is, but I think I have more people skills than my older brother Ron.

LH: 我看你也是处于中间，在人际关系方面赶不上Emily，但比哥哥要强一些。Larry, 那你觉得我是什么水平呢？

LL: You are a people person, Li Hua. I think you need to be a real people person to be a Chinese teacher.

LH: 那倒不见得教中文的老师必须善于和人交往，其实任何老师都应该如此。 我们每天都要跟学生打交道嘛。

LL: Being a people person can also be very useful when interviewing for a job.

LH: 没错，找工作面试的时候， 公司总是喜欢能与人相处的雇员。

LL: Yes, and my sister Emily told me she has an interview for an internship at a law firm. With her people skills, I am sure she will get it.

LH: 没错，像Emily那样讨人喜欢的人，那律师事务所肯定会要她去实习的。
