在社交生活中,首当其冲的就是跟人打招呼,所以,学英语,我们先学习如何用英语跟人打招呼。
第一、简单问候
Hi
Hello
hello,there
Hey
Excuse me.
解释一下:
Hi,意思是:嗨,你好。
Hello,意思是:喂,你好。也可以说:hello,there,意思都差不多。
Hey,意思是:嘿,主要是引起人的注意。类似的还有Excuse me,表示:打扰一下,劳驾。
对于这些简单的问候,回答的时候也可以用它们自己来回答。
比如:
A: Hi
B: Hi/hello/hello, there.
第二、开心遇见
第一次见
Good/Pleasure/Glad/Nice/Happy to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
Now I finally have the chance to meet you in person.
再次见
Good/Pleasure/Glad/Nice/Happy to see you again.
解析一下:
如果是第一次见面,用meet,基本的句型如下:
Good/Pleasure/Glad/Nice/Happy to meet you.
它们都表示:很高兴见到你。
I've heard a lot about you.
字面意思是:我听说过很多关于你的事。可以翻译为:久仰大名。
Now I finally have the chance to meet you in person.
现在我终于有机会见到你了。
in person 当面,亲自
如果不是第一次见了,就用see,句型如下:
Good/Pleasure/Glad/Nice/Happy to see you again.
很高兴再次见到你。
第三、按时间问候
按时间问候,一般用good就行了。
Good morning
morning
Good afternoon
Good evening
这个好理解,早上上午好用good morning,或者直接用morning;下午好用good afternoon;晚上好用good evening。回答的时候按同样的话回答就行。
第四、向你问好
向人直接问好,一般用how do。
How are you doing?
How are you (getting on/getting along/all at home)?
How have you been (doing/keeping busy)?
How is your family?
How do you do?
You (still) look great/well!
I don't think I've had the pleasure.
实际运用的时候,do等可以省略掉,变成:
How are you?
How have you been?
其中How have you been?进行了时态变化,变成现在完成进行时,表示从过去到现在这段时间一直持续,并且以后还会继续。
还可以变成一边现在时来问:
How do you do?这种问法比较古老,现在少用了,如果直接说:How do you do!意思是:你好啊!
do可用get on/get along/keep busy等来替换,它们都可以翻译为:近来怎么样?
除了问好,还可以直接说你看起来不错,或者是我很荣幸。比如:
You (still) look great/well!
你(仍然)看起来很棒/很好!
I don't think I've had the pleasure.
我想我未曾有幸遇见过你。
第五、通过问事情来问好
What is up?
What's going on?
What's new?

What's the latest?
How is everything?
How is everything going?
How is it going?
How are things with you?
Is everything going well?
How is life?

发生什么事?
有什么新鲜事吗?

过得怎样?

第七、好久不见

它们的中文翻译:
