D
当我们说:“很棒的比赛,不是吗?”事实上我们是_______
A. 问问题
B. 开始一个重要的谈话
C. 谈论比赛
D. 开始寒暄
根据第二段的4-7行:
The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't it?" At bus stops, people may talk about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?"
寒暄的话题也取决于谈话的地点。在足球比赛中,人们聊他们正在观看的比赛:“很棒的比赛,不是吗?”在公共汽车站,人们可能会谈论交通系统:“公共汽车服务很糟糕,不是吗?”
可知,我们说的这句话只是开始寒暄,而并非真的在谈论比赛。
故选D
