你好歹也是个外星人啊,对话要懂得结合实际,灵活变通!

在日常对话里,如果打招呼只说“Hello”或“Hi”未免太过敷衍,人们经常会用更加生动的“How are you”来问候。就好像汉语里问:

“哟,吃了吗您呐?”

然后对方回答:

“吃了,您呢?”

但是,如果教科书上告诉你“吃了,您呢?”是标准答案,叫你死记硬背,就算十天没吃饭饿成了排骨都作此回答,那这样的问候岂不是很机械,且毫无意义?英语对话,永远不等同于英语考试。

所以,当外国人听到中国人十个里有九个人说“Fine, thank you, and you”时就会感到困惑(已经不止一个外教向华生反映学生只会回答这句话了),甚至直接给你打上负面的印象分,觉得你是在敷衍他们。哪怕你回答“Fine, thanks.”都要好上不少。

那我们该如何回答“How are you”呢?华生来给你分享一点新鲜的句式和回答方式把。

如果你最近过得顺心

1. I’m great.(过得很滋润)

2. Pretty good. (很不错)

3. Doing fine, and you? (过得不错,你呢)

4. Good! You? (过得挺好,你怎么样)

8. Yeah, all right. (尚可)

不过学会了以上15种的回答或许还不够,因为你可能还需要学会how are you以外的问候方式。华生认识一位外教,就曾抱怨说:

For four years, Harries always greeted me the same exact way: “Hello teacher, how are you?” One day, I finally told him, “You know, Harries, there are many different ways to say hello. If you try some different ways to say something, you will improve your English.”

The next day, when he saw me, he walked up to me and said, “How are you teacher - hello.”
