 e Banter & Trash Talk  英语流利说：善意玩笑和打嘴炮</a>\nPeo
 ple are competitive by nature\, some of us more than others. How good are 
 you at competitive banter? Can you joke about others and laugh it off when
  they joke about you? Can you give as eloquent and as clever and as light-
 hearted as you receive? Let's practice one of the most artful\, subtle\, a
 nd absolutely essential language skills of all: competitive banter! In thi
 s club\, Alysia will break down the art of competitive banter as if it wer
 e a science and we'll practice with each other. This will be a lesson in l
 anguage\, culture\, and the fine art of real conversation._x000D_ _x000D_ 
 To truly master a language\, you must be able to handle banter. Banter is 
 an enjoyable conversation between friends and is filled with pop culture r
 eferences\, humour\, and even a few digs. Digs are light-hearted insults t
 hat friends give to each other. If you can do that\, you're well on your w
 ay to language mastery!_x000D_ _x000D_ Mastering competitive banter shows 
 that you're confident in who you are and yet not so serious that you're in
 approachable. Being good at it will help you get jobs\, friends\, new netw
 orks\, and endless social opportunities. And the ability to do it often br
 ings on instant results and even respect from those who originally didn't 
 give it to you. To understand this is to truly understand the culture of W
 estern conversation. Let's have a fun\, eye-opening\, and linguistically t
 ransformative workshop!_x000D_ _x000D_ 人们天生就好胜心强，我
 们中的一些人比其他人更甚。你在开一些善意的玩笑方
 面有多擅长？你能拿别人开玩笑吗？当他们拿你开玩笑
 时，你能一笑而过吗？你能像接受一样雄辩、聪明、轻
 松地给予吗？让我们练习最巧妙、最微妙、最基本的语
 言技巧之一：善意的玩笑！在这个俱乐部里，Alysia将打
 破善意玩笑的艺术，就好像这是一门科学一样，我们将
 相互练习。这将是一堂关于语言、文化和真实对话艺术
 的课。_x000D_ _x000D_ 要想真正掌握一门语言，你必须能够
 处理玩笑。玩笑是朋友之间愉快的对话，充满了流行文
 化的参考、幽默，甚至一些挖掘。挖苦是朋友们对彼此
 的轻松侮辱。如果你能做到这一点，你就在掌握语言的
 路上了！_x000D_ _x000D_ 掌握善意玩笑表明你对自己很有信
 心，但又不至于太认真，让别人觉得你高不可攀。擅长
 使用它将帮助你找到工作、朋友、新的人际网络和无尽
 的社交机会。这样做的能力往往会带来立竿见影的效果
 ，甚至会得到那些最初没有得到的尊重。理解这一点就
 是真正理解西方谈话的文化。让我们来一场有趣、大开
 眼界、具有变革意义的研讨会吧！
