Hi!喂!
Hello!喂!
How are you ?你好。
How are you doing ? 最近怎么样?
初次见面可以说:
Glad to meet you here. 很高兴见到你。
我们常常会听到对方说How do you do?
这时唯一正确的反应也是How do you do?
不要以为对方要问你什么,其实这只是一个问句式的问候语。如果你告诉对方哪儿痛哪儿不舒服就错了,我们不少人喜欢说 I'm fine, thank you.这是不符合习惯的。另外提一句,我们初次见面分手时喜欢说 Good-bye.你如果仔细注意的话,会发现Native speakers说Nice meeting you 或Nice to have met you.
1. Hello ! (你好)2. How do you do! (你好)3. Good morning! (早上好)4. Good afternoon! (下午好)5. Good night! (晚安)6. Goodbye! (再见)7. See you later! (一会儿见)8. See you tomorrow! (明天见)9. How are you? (你好吗)I am fine.
