“吃了吗？”

说英语的时候，尤其在突然不知道说什么的时候，母语会蹦出来，比如打招呼时候，最中国的问候方式“你吃了吗？”会在遇到外国人时候脱口而出“Hey ，did you have your dinner?”,

“James, did you have your lunch?”

这么问也没啥不对，只是外国人并不像中国人这么喜欢用吃没吃饭来打招呼，英语里最常用的打招呼方式是how are you ? how are you doing ? how you doing ?还有what’s up? 或者简单说成hey, s’up? 或者，how’s it going ?在后面加个with….可表达问候具体的事情，比如hey, how’s it going with your broken car? 嗨，你那个破车修理得怎么样了？how’s it going with your paperwork?你的论文写得怎么样了？hi，how’s it going with your wife? 嗨，和你老婆和好了吗？其实回答这种打招呼不必太认真，就像回答“你吃了吗？”一样，没必要把具体吃什么说出来，通常回答说，good, how about you ? couldn’t complain, still alive,没啥特别的，还活着；或者最地道的same old same old ,nothing new,老样子老样子，记住了吗？

1.How are you ? good , what about you ?

2.what’s up? couldn’t complain ,still alive, thanks for asking

3.How’s it going with your wife? Same old same old, nothing new

4.hey, how’s it going with your broken car? I bought a new one.

5.how’s it going with your paperwork? I don’t wanna talk about it
