The key in creating small talk with your boss is to pay attention to what he or she is saying verbally and by means of their body language. Listen to what they're saying, because that will greatly influence what's going to happen next. 

和你的老板闲聊的关键是注意他/她说了什么，以及他们的肢体语言。听听他们的谈话内容，因为这将极大地影响接下来要发生的事情。

The conversation could be about the company or what you've been busy working on. Express yourself confidently, be professional and and adding in a little light humor can’t hurt. But don't forget to act natural and just be yourself. 

谈话的内容可以是有关公司的，或是你手头上正在做的事情。自信的表达自己，专业一点再加上一点幽默感也是无伤大雅的。但不要忘了，表现的自然一些做你自己就好。

When you are introduced to someone important, sincere eye contact and a firm handshake are very helpful, and don't forget to smile and relax.

当你被介绍给一位领导时，诚恳的眼神接触和坚定的握手都很有帮助，而且不要忘了微笑和放松。
