維拉：嗨，尼爾！我想謝謝你幫我聯繫技術部門的布萊恩。他幫我解決了我電腦的問題。Neil: No problem, Vera. Any time you need a good contact, just ask.
尼爾：不客氣，維拉。無論何時你需要聯繫，儘管開口。Feifei: Wait a minute! We have a programme to do here!
菲菲：等等！我們現在在錄節目呢！Neil: Well, what can I do, I'm a people person! In English, you say someone is a 'people person' when they are good at dealing with other people. They're helpful and have the ability to motivate people. People like me, Feifei.
尼爾：嗯，沒辦法，我人緣太好了！在英語中，如果你用people person來形容某個人，這說明他們很擅長和其他人打交道。他們樂於助人，有能力激勵他人。菲菲，就是像我這樣的人。Feifei: I know, I know. I appreciate your people skills too. Let's hear some examples of how this expression is used.
菲菲：我知道，我知道。我也很欣賞你的人際交往能力。我們現在來聽一些例句，看看這個表達方式如何應用。Examples
例句Callum is a people person. He gets along with everybody and would make a great manager.
卡勒姆擅長交際。他和所有人都相處的很好，他會成爲偉大的管理者。You know, you should go to the party even if you don't know anybody there. You're a people person and by the end of the night you'll have made lots of new friends.
你知道，即使你誰也不認識，你也應該去參加派對。你擅長交際，今晚結束前你會交到很多新朋友的。Feifei: So many people outside the studio… Neil, who are they?
菲菲：演播室外有太多人了……尼爾，他們是誰啊？Neil: Oh, these are colleagues and friends I've helped out a bit recently.
尼爾：哦，這些是我最近幫助過的同事和朋友。Feifei: But this is… it's a crowd!
菲菲：可是這……這是一大羣人啊！Neil: I told you: I'm a people person! Hello everybody! I'll be there in a minute!
尼爾：我告訴過你：我人緣很好！大家好！我馬上就來！Both: Bye!
二人：再見！
