爱借词汇的美国人
Because it’s boring to use the same “hello” and “goodbye” words over and over again, some Americans think it is fun and playful to borrow greeting and parting words from other languages. Spanish phrases are used most often, but other commonly recognized languages such as Italian and French are sometimes used. Who knows- with more and more Americans learning Chinese these days, maybe someday in the future you might hear an American in a movie call out, “Zaijian!” The following are a few examples of words borrowed from other languages:
Hola! (Hello- Spanish)
Hola, amiga! (Hello friend!- Spanish)
Bonjour! (Hello- French)
Adios amigo! (Goodbye friend- Spanish)
Hasta la vista! (See you soon!- Spanish)
Aloha! (Hello!- Hawaiian)
中文翻译
由于一遍又一遍的使用“hello”和“goodbye”这样令人乏味的词语，一些美国人觉得借用其它语言来表达见面和分手是有趣和好玩的。其中西班牙语使用的最多，其它大家所熟知的意大利语和法语有时也会使用。不过也很难说——随着越来越多的美国人开始学习中文，说不定将来某一天你会在电影中听到美国人说出“再见”这样的话。下面是一些借用其它语言词语的例子：
Hola! (你好- 西班牙语)
Hola, amiga! (你好，朋友!- 西班牙语)
Bonjour! (你好- 法语)
Adios amigo! (再见朋友！- 西班牙语)
Hasta la vista! (待会见!- 西班牙语)
Aloha! (你好!- 夏威夷语)
