【鲜菇杂谈】雅思口语话题丨一个来自陌生人的电话

口语话题取材于生活，可是很多人根本没有生活。大多时候，生活在大城市的我们已经麻木了，对于每天发生的，曾经无数次想要大声抱怨的场面，习以为常，不再痛痒。

我却无法麻木。

每天在熟悉的路线里，依旧在观察，体会，好奇地看着周围人的行为，思考他们为何会经常不顾他人，为所欲为。

可能正是这种批判的眼光才能让我们面对一个又一个似乎很难的口语话题时，始终有话可说吧。

题库中有很多关于“陌生人”的话题。

妈妈从小告诉我们：不要跟陌生人说话。长大了，我们不说，陌生人跑过来跟我们说“游泳健身了解一下”，“能扫码加个微信吗？自己创业的营养餐，欢迎来店里体验”，“你的头发真好看，在哪里做的”，“请问，这是去西直门的车吗？”

每天，生活在北京地铁的上班族都经历着被陌生人打扰的瞬间。这些瞬间，不断放大，就是一个又一个故事，一个又一个口语话题的素材。

今天，

继续跟大家分享“陌生人”的故事，一个陌生电话

I’d love to talk about a time received a call from a stranger. It happened a few months ago when I was travelling on the subway back home. It was quite late, almost 10 p.m. The coach was quiet and I could see that many people were staring on their phones tiredly. When I was about to change the music on the list, someone called and it was an unknown number. I didn’t want to pick it up in the beginning because I thought it might be some sales call. Accidently, I pressed the green button and answered it. It turned out to be a sales call for sure.

几个月前的一个晚上，下了晚课我坐地铁回家，大约十点了，车厢里很安静，大家都在疲惫地看着手机。我正准备换一首歌来听，却突然接到了一个陌生电话。本不打算接，想着可能是个销售电话。结果，不小心点了接通键，不出意外，的确是个想卖我东西的陌生人。

I started to lose my patience because the person who was calling seemed to be very persistent, but I tried to control my temper and didn’t hang up because I suddenly started to be curious about his selling skill. He wanted to sell me an apartment. I asked him some questions and he answered professionally. I was kind of impressed and had a longer conversation with him. However, my phone was out of power and the call had to stop. It was a bit pity.

听到他的意图我就想挂电话，但是他似乎很耐心，所以我克制住脾气听了下去，并且突然对他的销售技巧好奇起来。他想卖房子给我。我问了他一些问题，他都很专业地一一作答。对他的答案我很满意，又接着聊了一会儿。可是，手机没电突然自动关机，这段对话就这样毫无准备地结束了，有点儿遗憾。

Anyways, I was a bit surprised that I would have such a long conversation with a salesperson through the phone call. It was really a special experience. Most of the time, I would hang up such calls immediately and be furious about the fact that my number has been sold to so many weird people. That day, probably I was in a different mood. It’s also due to the reason that his voice was quite attractive. Voice is really vital in selling through phone calls, I guess. He has this advantage. Well, in general, it was an interesting experience that I had before.

说实话，我没想到竟然会跟一个销售打这么久的电话。大部分时候，我几乎都会立马挂掉电话，同时感叹为何自己的电话号码会被这么多莫名其妙的人知晓。然而，那一天，心情有些不同吧。或许是因为他说话的声音很好听。声音对于电话销售来说真的很重要。这段经历也算既平常又有趣吧。

故事写完了，像假的吗？

的确是假的。我没有接到要卖房子给我的陌生电话，也没有耐心跟一个陌生人讲这么久。每次在夜晚坐地铁，我都会把手机静音，有的时候连音乐也不听。我会坐在最靠边的位置，倚着玻璃睡着，然后在家的前一站自动醒来，调整自己，坐好下车的准备。疲惫了一天的身体，根本没有力气去应对一个陌生人的电话。陌生人也基本不会在夜晚十点去骚扰另外一个陌生人。除非他是骗子。这个社会的骗子有很多，很多骗子可能就是身边的人。如果一直骗下去，习惯成自然就不会觉得自己被骗。如果骗子骗术不精被揭穿，画面就不好看了。我可以一直这样写下去不停，因为脑子里都是各种各样的碎片故事。考试的时候我也能够一直讲下去，只要考官不打断我。可是，考官永远会在两分钟的时候打断我们，因为考试有时间的规定。怎么办，故事还没讲完，意犹未尽就被生生打断，不甘心，不开心。好啦好啦别想太多啦……

就写到这儿吧。希望这段素材对你的口语备考有帮助~
