地道英语打招呼so easy!
还在用中国式问候"How are you?" "Fine, thank you. And you?”来跟朋友打招呼吗?你可以使用它们,但我建议你只在正式场合用他们,在商业会议上用还算可以,但是和朋友和熟人聊天也用这个句子就太不合适了。虽然算不上什么天雷滚滚的句式,但是老外表示他们从来不会这样跟朋友打招呼。我们聚在一起爱聊工作什么的,老外也喜欢吗?小雅哥这次会来教教各位烤鸭们如何用英语问好而不显得奇怪。
小雅哥今天介绍一些非正式场景下的英语问好方式。使用非正式的问好方式在英语里并不会显得唐突而没有礼貌。一个很好的结交说英语的朋友的方式就是使用非正式用语加微笑。
以下是几个你必须知道的地道问好方式
“How's it going?” “最近怎么样?”
这和问“How are you?”一样。以“Yeah, it's good, you?”回答。
注意你不要说“I'm good”。你要说“It's good”这是因为“it”指的是情况。
(It--the situation--is good.)
你也可以回答:“Not bad.”或者你可以重复这个短语:“Not bad, not bad.”
记住:not bad = good.
美国人更喜欢用“awesome(好极了)”来回答“How's it going?”或者“How are you?”对美国人来说,一切都是极好的。他们和他们的英国弟兄正好相反。他们有时即使过了最坏的一天,当别人问他们最近怎么样,依然用“awesome”来回答。
“How's it going?”可以用在很多不同的场合。它不仅只是一个问候用语。比如,如果你的朋友在做一些工作,你可以问他们“How's it going?”如果他们说“It's good,” 意味着他们的工作进展不错。他们可以说“Not so good” 或者“It's not good” 如果他们的工作进展不顺利。
“What's up?” / “Sup?”
“What's up?” 是带有美国影响的,但是年轻英国人经常用它。你可以把这个短语简化成一个词: “Sup?”
遇到经常见面的朋友时,一句话中可以用多次问候~
1: “What's up, man, how's it going?”
2: “Yeah, it's good, thanks, what's up with you?”
以下是一个两个很久没见面的朋友之间的谈话例子:
Person 1: “What's up, man? Long-time no see!”
Person 2: “How's it going, my friend?’
Person 1: “Yeah, it's good, you?”
Person 2: “Not bad, not bad. You okay?”
不过,“What's up?”在不同的情况下有不同的含义。烤鸭们要注意用对含义哟~
(1) 问候“What's up?”可以表示一种非正式的“你好”。这时你最好的回答也是“What's up?”
(2) 它也表示,“你怎么样?”但是说话者并不真正期望知道你确切怎么样。最好的回答是“Not much.”
(3) 它还可以表示,”出什么事了?”如果你看起来不高兴或不舒服或犹豫,别人可能会问你“What's up?” 你讲知道这一含义如果问你的人口气带着关心。你可以告诉他们哪里出错了。就说“I'm not feeling well,”或者“I've had some bad news”,或无论哪里出了错。如果你不想谈论这件事,就说“Nothing”/“No big deal”/“Don't worry.”
(4) 它也可以表达, “What's new?”或“What's happened in your life recently?”你可以通过说发生了什么来回答。比如:“I got a new job.”,或者“I'm tired at the moment.”但是大部分人不以此回答。
“What's the craic?”
这是一个“What's up?”的变形,可以翻译为“最近发生了什么事?”这个短语来自爱尔兰,但现在也用在英国和美国。如果你想听起来更真实,在句尾放上“like”:“What's the craic, like?”一个合适的回答会是,“Not much, what's the craic with you?”
“How's it hanging?”
“How's it going?”的另一个变形是:“How's it hanging?” 这是一个美国俚语。
“Alright?”
这个短语经常用在北英格兰。它被翻译为“你好”。“Alright?”合适的回答是“Alright”。说话时提起一点你的眉毛,并点头。
“What have you been up to?”
“What ya been up to?” 或者“What've ya been up to?”经常也用被使用并有相同的含义。任何解释你做了什么的回答都是合适的。
你可以回答:“Well, yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends, and I've been studying a lot. What about you?”
你不一定要说你做了什么,你可以说“This and that”或者“Ah, you know, same old, same old”或者“Bits and bobs.”
以下是两个朋友见面时谈话的例子:
A: “Alright? How's it going?”
B: “Alright. Yeah, not bad. What ya been up to?”
A: “Ah, you know, this and that. Same old, same old. You?”
B: “Yeah, not much. Lots of school work, bits and bobs.”
