日常口语中我们经常要用到表示“问候”的英语表达,那么有哪些常用的表达方式呢?大家可以根据实际情况选用合适的句型,尽量避免与他人的用词造句过于雷同~
1. How are you doing?
你好吗?
美国人见面时候最常用的打招呼方式就是:
"Hey! How are you doing?"
或是 "How are you?"
不然 "How's going?" 也很常见.。
%202.%20What's%20up?
%20什么事?
%20"What's%20up?"%20也是很常用的一种打招呼方式.。
%20比方说%20Bob%20在路上看到我跟我说%20"Hey!%20XXX"%20
%20那我通常就回答说%20"Hi!%20Bob.%20What's%20up?"%20
%20这就是问对方近来怎样,有什么事吗?%20
%20通常如果没什么事人家就会说%20"Not%20much."%20不过还有一种情况也很常见,你先跟人家说%20"Hey!%20What's%20up?"%20那别人也不说%20"Not%20much",反而反问一句%20"What's%20up?"%20所以%20"What's%20up?"%20已经变成有点%20Hello!%20的味道在里面了。
%20"What's%20up?"%20也常被用来问人家有什么事?
%20例如有人登门拜访,%20你就会说
"What's up?" (到底有何贵干啊? )
在南非的打招呼方式是
"How zit?" 这是从 "How's it?" 衍生变化而来。
所以同样是讲英文的国家,打招呼的方式也有很大的不同。
%203.%20Could%20you%20do%20me%20a%20favor?
%20能不能帮我一个忙?
%20"Could%20you%20do%20me%20a%20favor?"%20或是%20"Could%20you%20give%20me%20a%20hand?"%20算是比较正式而礼貌的讲法。有时候要请别人帮忙还不太好意思说,可以说%20Could%20you%20do%20me%20a%20little%20favor?(%20能不能帮我一个小忙?)
%20其实也许是帮大忙但也要先讲成小忙,先让对方点头才是。(注意一下这里用%20could%20you%20会比%20can%20you%20来的客气一点.)
%20另外%20"Can%20you%20help%20me?"%20也很常见,通常比如说我们去买东西,可是店员自己在聊天,我就会说%20"Can%20you%20help%20me?"%20(其实正常来说,应该是他们主动会问%20"Can%20I%20help%20you?"%20或是%20"May%20I%20help%20you?"%20才对,但有时实在等不及了,就直接先问了%20"Can%20you%20help%20me?"
%20 %204.%20What%20are%20you%20studying?
%20你主修什么的?
%20其实这样的问法就是问你%20"What's%20your%20major?"%20但老外比较喜欢说%20"What%20are%20you%20studying?"%20如果说你遇见一个人,你也不确定他是不是学生,我们通常会问%20"What%20do%20you%20do%20for%20living?"%20你是做什么工作的?%20或是简单地问%20"What%20do%20you%20do?"%20一般不会说成%20"What's%20your%20job?"
%20 %205.%20Where%20are%20you%20going?
%20你要去哪啊?
%20通常走在路上遇到好朋友,除了打招呼之外,我都还会问%20"Where%20are%20you%20going?"%20
%20另外老美也很喜欢用%20heading%20这个字来代替%20going。所以你也可以问%20"Where%20are%20you%20heading?"%20同样都是你上哪去的意思。
%20 %206.%20What's%20your%20favorite%20ice%20cream?
%20你最喜欢的冰淇淋是什么?
%20这句话通常是当遇到陌生人时,又想不到其它话题的时候会最先想到的一句话。试想二个人如果有共同的兴趣和嗜好是不是就很容易成为好朋友呢?%20
%20问人家%20"What's%20your%20favorite%20movie?%20Who's%20your%20favorite%20movie%20star?"%20总之%20favorite%20之后可以接任何你有兴趣的话题。
%20Favorite%20这个字很好用,如果这句话你不用%20favorite%20的话,就会变成%20"What%20kind%20of%20ice%20cream%20do%20you%20like%20the%20most?"%20
%20 %207.%20What%20color%20is%20your%20car?
%20What's%20the%20color%20of%20your%20car?
%20你的车子是什么颜色?
%20个人觉得%20What%20后面接一个名词这样的问句好用的很,同样的句子---%20"What%20kind%20of%20color%20does%20your%20car%20have?"%20听来是没错,但老美绝不会这样问的!他们就是%20"What%20color%20is%20your%20car?"%20有时候就干脆只说%20"What%20color?"%20
就完事了。
让我们再来练习几句:
"What year is your car?" 你的车是几年份的?
"What area do you live?" 你是住哪一区。?
同样的 How 后接一个形容词也很常用,例如 "How big is your dog?" 你的狗有多大?
%208.%20What's%20going%20on?
%20发生了什么事?
%20比如说你要用计算机,可是不知为什么无法开机,你就可以说%20"Hey,%20What's%20going%20on?"%20
%20虽然这句就完全等于%20"What%20happened?"%20或是%20"What's%20up%20with%20that?"%20但是老美还是比较比喜欢说%20"What's%20going%20on?"%20。
%20又比如人家问你说%20"Why%20is%20our%20oven%20broken?"%20你就可以推的一干二净地说.%20"I%20don't%20know%20what's%20going%20on."%20(我不知发生了什么事)
%20 %209.%20How%20come?
%20为什么?(怎么会这样?)
%20How%20come%20的用法大部分就等于%20why%20但是它的用法没有像%20why%20那么广,它通常是用在你觉得奇怪,而问为什么的时候,比如说有人早上一大早要去%20supermarket%20你就会问他.%20"How%20come?"%20
%20另外,当别人问你一个问题,而你不想回答时可以说%20"How%20come?"%20相当于%20"Why%20do%20you%20ask%20that?"%20也就是说%20"It's%20none%20of%20your%20business!%20"虽然%20how%20come%20跟%20why%20的用法上差不多,但二者的问法不同。
%20例如上句%20"Why%20is%20our%20oven%20broken?"%20换成%20how%20come%20的话,要说成%20"How%20come%20our%20oven%20is%20broken?"%20注意一下,这二句的%20be%20动词位置是不一样的。
%20 %2010.%20Anybody%20
needs a fork?
有没有人要叉子的啊?
以前老师都教说英文中的问句只有 W-H 问句。其实不然,还有很多种问句,例如这个“anybody” 问句。
也有很多的问句是用 Any 开头的,例如 "Any volunteer?" 有没有志愿的啊?或是 "Any luck today?" 今天运气好不好啊?返回搜狐,查看更多
