美国人如何打招呼

Chinese people oftentimes great each other by asking whether a person has eaten or not- Americans new to China find this very strange at first! “Why do they wonder if I have eaten? Do they want to have a meal with me?” An American would only ask another person this question if he or she had food to offer the person or wanted company when going out to eat. Here are a few equivalent English phrases for asking how a person is doing: “Hey! What’s up!” “How’re you doin?” “Hey, how’s it goin?” These are very informal phrases to use with friends. No one really expects an answer to these questions- you may reply with a short, vague answer. For example: “Nothing much, how about you?” “Pretty good- how about you?”

中文翻译

中国人见面打招呼总是爱问对方是否吃过了这样的问题，这使得那些初到中国的美国人感到非常的奇怪。“他们为什么想知道我是否吃过了？他们是想和我一起吃饭吗？”美国人只有在他（她）有食物提供给对方或是想让对方陪他（她）出去吃饭的时候，才会问这样的话。这里给大家提供一些与此相同的打招呼用语：

“Hey! What’s up!”

“How’re you doin?”

“Hey, how’s it goin?”

这些说法是很不正规的，一般是朋友之间使用。当人们听到这些问候时，没有人会希望得到这些问题的真正答案。所以，你做一个简短的、模糊的回答就可以了。比如：

“Nothing much, how about you?” （没什么啦，你呢？）

“Pretty good- how about you?”（很好啊！那你呢？）
