如何用英語打招呼

如何用英語打招呼?

　

只要熟記以下的規則, 來美國和老美打招呼絕不成問題.

　

如何打招呼?	如何回答?
Hello, David!	Hey, James!
How are you doing? How are you? Howdy? 　　　美國的店員在你結帳的時候都會問這一句, 所以要有心裏準備, 只要答一聲, good 就好, 不用再反問.	Good! (Pretty good) I am great. I am Fine. I am all right. I am doing good. I am wonderful. Not bad. Well, a little bit tired. 　禮貌上, 你答完之後, 要再反問: How are you doing?
What's up? 　有沒有什麼事啊?	Not much! Nothing much! Nothing special 沒什麼
How is everything going? How is going? How have you been? 第二句是第一句的簡稱, 如在路上遇到, 匆匆走過, 就說第二句就好了!	Not much. Tired. Good! 你當然也可以回答其它的, 如 Busy, 但 Not much 或 Tired 比較常聽老美說.
Happy weekend? 　星期一見面時可以問這一句.	I had homework on my head! 　我滿腦子都是功課! (這句可視情況回答)
How was your trip? How was your flight? How was your party? 　如果知道別人昨天做了什麼事, 可以關心一下, 記得這個句型, How was your xxx ? 很有用. 不要劃蛇添足!	Well, That's good. Well, That's ok. Well, That's all right. 　 Well 是發語詞, 沒什麼意思, 但常用. 如果想繼續跟對方聊下去, 可以把經過講給對方聽, 不然這樣講就夠了

編按: How are you doing 是最常用的, How are you 次之, Howdy 則是簡稱!

　

如何說再見?	如何回答?
See you later.	See you.
Bye, David.	Bye, James.
Take it easy!	You too!
Later dude.	See you later.
Happy weekend. Happy Christmas. 　 Happy 後面可接任何的節日!	Thank you, you too!
Have Fun! 　如果是從一個 party 或聚會要先離開時可以用這句.	Thank you!
You have a great day! 　通常是店員在你結完帳時會說這一句.	You too. 　不回答也可以, 但是感覺上比較不禮貌.

編按: 儘量不要用 Good bye, 或是 So long 這樣的用法, 在這裏相當少見.
