李阳疯狂英语突破口语要素:问候
第一单元 问候
编者按
Americans have so many different ways of greeting one another! In fact, many times an
American greeting will consist of several greeting questions strung together. It is
very common to hear a friend say,“Hi-Stone-What’s-up-how-are-you-doing-wow-I-haven’
t-seen-you-how-have-you-been?”all in one breath1. Although Americans generally believe
that shorter is better, the function of greeting is an exception2 to the rule. Don’t be
surprised if you are greeted in this way. Just practice the following greetings and
responses until they become automatic3. You’ll soon be saying “Wow-I’m-great-never-
been-better-everything’s-going-my-way-how-about-you?”
美国人彼此之间有很多种不同的问候方式。事实上,很多时候,一个美国式的问候经常由几个
相连问候的问题连结起来。我们会很普遍地听到有人对你一口气说“嗨,Stone,怎么样?你好吗?
我好久不见了,你最近怎么样?”尽管美国人一般认为问候越短越好,但是作为问候的功能可以将
这个规则排除在外。如果你被人用这种连贯的方式问候千万不要惊讶。疯狂练习以下给出的问候句
及其回应句,直到最后反应自如为止。你将很快会说:“噢,我很好,从来没有这样好过,事事顺
心,你怎么样?”
1. Hi!
你好!
【疯狂实战】
○1A: Hi!
(你好!)
B: Hi!
(你好!)
○2A: Hi, Kim. How are you?
(你好,Kim,近来怎样?)
B: Fine. How are you doing?
(很好。你怎样?)

○3A: Hi, I haven’t seen you for ages.
(你好,很久不见了。)
B: Wow, I know. It’s great to see you again.
(是啊。很高兴又见到你。)

Kim’s Note: This may sound simple, but it is very important. It is so common to hear
people “singing” the word “Hello” when you walk through the streets of China. I
think it is great that people know an English word, but they would get a lot more
response with a friendly “hi”. Never underestimate4 a simple word. Even “hi” can
make a big difference.
这个词听起来简单,却非常重要。走在中国的街头,总能听到人们如唱歌般的“哼”着Hello。我觉
得人们懂得一个英语单词是一件好事,但一个友好的“hi”却能让他们得到更多的回应。永远也不
要低估了一个简单的单词,哪怕一个“hi”也会带来很大的不同。

2. Nice to meet you. 

3. How are things going? 
近况如何?
【疯狂实战】

(你好,Stone!近况如何?)
B: Couldn’t be better. How about you?
(再好不过了。你呢?)

请想想“What’s new!” “激进”的英语回答。“近来怎么样?”——“很好” 、“非常棒” 、
“棒极了”等等。一个人如果经常处于自我激发的状态,久而久之,便会溶入自己的身心,形成强
大的内动力。心态改变,就能改变自己的世界。

(你好,Kim,见到你真高兴。)
B: Yeah, it sure is. What’s up?
(是啊,近来好吗?)

10. What’s happening? 
怎么样?

【外国专家的话】
A response to “What’s happening?” would never be “Not bad.” For, although “What’
s happening?” can stand in for “How are you?”, “What’s happening?” still
maintains7 its literal8 meaning – “What’s going on?”
A good response might be “Same old same old.” or “Nothing much”.
“Same old same old.” means9 something like: “Nothing’s new. Same old things are
going on. Nothing’s changed. Just the usual things are going on”.
“Not bad.(还好。/不错)”不能用来回答“What’s happening?”。因为,尽管“What’s
happening?”可以用来表示“How are you?(你好吗?)”这层意思,但是“What’s happening?
”仍然保留着它的字面意思——“What’s going on?(发生了什么事?)”。
恰当的回答应该是:“Same old same old.(老样子,老样子。)”或“Nothing much.(一般。)

“Same old same old.”的意思类似于“没什么新鲜事发生,原来的事情还在进行。没有什么改变
的,一切如常。”

【疯狂实战】
○1A: Hey, man! What’s happening?
(嘿,伙计!怎么样?)
B: Nothing much.
(一般。)
○2A: Hi, Bill. What’s happening?
(嗨,Bill。怎么样?)
B: Same old same old. What’s going on with you ?
(老样子,老样子。你怎么样了?)
○3A: Hey, long time no see, what’s happening?
(嘿,好久不见,过得怎么样?)
B: Not a whole lot.
(一般。)
