日常口语:美国人五花八门的打招呼方式
<p> 打招呼算是最基本的口语了，跟人见面第一句肯定要打招呼，如果你还停留在<span word="Hello">Hello</span>?<span word="How">How</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="you">you</span>?<span word="How">How</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="do">do</span>?的层次上，那你可能要听不懂美国人说话了。</p><p> 美国人喜欢说的是：</p><p> - <span word="How">How</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="doing">doing</span>?</p><p> - <span word="Im">Im</span> <span word="doing">doing</span> <span word="good">good</span>.</p><p> <span word="How">How</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="doing">doing</span> 这句话运用的最出神入化的要算是老友记(查看相关资讯)里的<span word="Joey">Joey</span>,他每次见到美女都会跟人家搭讪说<span word="How">How</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="doing">doing</span>.</p><p> 类似的问好方式还有：</p><p> <span word="Hows">Hows</span> <span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="going">going</span>?</p><p> <span word="Howdy">Howdy</span>!</p><p> <span word="Whats">Whats</span> <span word="up">up</span>?</p><p> 几句话都相当于你怎么样?你好吗?但如果细究，第一句似问对方最近一切是否顺利;第二句据说是从<span word="How">How</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="ye">ye</span>? 这句19世纪初的问候语简化而来;而第三句则侧重问对方那里有没有资讯，但实际就是打招呼。</p><p> 回答可根据情况，比如答<span word="good">good</span>, <span word="not">not</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="good">good</span>，<span word="okay">okay</span> 等。还有人说 <span word="Just">Just</span> <span word="hanging">hanging</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="there">there</span>.意思是就那么将就着，混呗!这种说法挺形象，<span word="hang">hang</span>指悬在空中吊着，的确是在那儿将就着。此说法于上世纪60年代在嬉皮士中盛行。有些语言学家认为，这个说法最早源于体育界，用来鼓励弱队，坚持下去。如：<span word="Dont">Dont</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="up">up</span>. <span word="Hang">Hang</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="there">there</span>.别泄气，坚持下去。</p><p> 美语的道别方式也五花八门，如：</p><p> <span word="So">So</span> <span word="long">long</span>!</p>
