a.上列問候語中, 前三個問句均有you, 故可使用下列答句:
問:How are you? 你好嗎?
=How are you doing?
=How are you getting along?
答:I'm fine, thank you. 我很好, 謝謝你。
Great, thanks. 很好, 謝謝你。
Fine, thanks. 不錯, 謝謝你。
Not bad, thanks. 還不錯, 謝謝你。
So-so, thank you. 馬馬虎虎/還過得去, 謝謝你。
b."How have you been?"是"How are you?"的完成式, 故答句不可說 "I'm fine, thank you."或"I am fine, thank you.",而要說"I have been fine, thank you."或"Fine, thank you."。
c.問候句"How's it going?"、"What's up?"及"What's happening?"分別為"How is it going?"、"What is up?"及"What is happening?"的縮寫型。唯實際使用時, 應使用縮寫型。
上述問候句的主詞並非you, 故答句不可說"I'm fine, thank you.", 茲分述如下:
問:How's it going?近況如何?
答:Not bad, thank you. 還不錯, 謝謝你。
So-so, thank you. 馬馬虎虎, 謝謝你。
Great, thank you. 很好, 謝謝你。
Fine, thank you. 不錯, 謝謝你。
問:What's up? 近況如何?
=What's happening?
答:Nothing much.沒什麼。
Same as usual.老樣子。
*"Same as usual."由"Everything is the same as usual." (一切與
往常相同。) 化簡而來。
same a. 相同的
as conj. 和
usual a. 平常的
