阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。
Many Americans find silence uncomfortable during a dinner. So in the United States people often make “small talk” in certain social situations(社交场合). Small talk is about different topics, only for keeping a conversation going. The topics might include the weather, sports, college lessons, clothing, food, etc. Small talk is very useful in social situations when you meet someone for the first time, or when a polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is wanted.
It is common that one knows someone before talking with him. In fact, at a party, “May I join you?” and a self - introduction are useful enough to get a welcome from a group and to join in a conversation. In some places, such as a concert hall or a theater, a waiting room or a classroom, it’s common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction.
People in the United States expect those whom they speak to stop whatever they are doing and listen. As a rule, the conversation distance(距离)between two people is at least two or three feet. Standing very close will make many Americans feel uncomfortable.
