英语小课堂——打招呼

关于见面打招呼，英语表达有以下几种:

"What's up?" ☞常用表达，意思就是“好吗/怎么样”。它可当问题，可当答案，有不需要真正回答。

- Hey， Lady ， what's up?

- Hey, Jim,what's up?

打电话的时候，还可以当作“喂”来用。不过只限于认识的人：

What's going on?＝“What's up”相类似，但后者更具体：

What's going on? 最近怎么样？只能当问题用，而不是回答。

回答有：Not bad. 还可以。Good/ great/ excellent! 挺好的！

Same old same old./ Same thing different day. 老样子。

"What" 开头，还有这些最常用的打招呼说法：

What's good? What's new?

How are you doing?你好吗/怎么样？

"How"开头，还有这些最常用的打招呼说法：

How is it going? How are things? How is life?

长一点也可以这样问:

Life has its ups and downs, but overall, life is good.

生活总是有高有低，但是总体来说很好

*How is your college life/work life treating you?

你的大学/工作生活怎么样呀？

What have you been up to? 老朋友长久没见可用这几句:

What have you been up to (lately)? 你这段时间怎么样？

这个问题可以这么回答：

Not much. 没什么特别的事。Same old same old. 老样子。

I've been really busy at work. 我工作很忙。

I've been up to my neck/ eyeballs in work. 我工作很忙。
