零基础

美国人问How are you?如何正确自然地回答?

如果别人对你说:How are you?

该如何回答?

Fine, thank you. And you?(书本回答)

How are you?/How are you doing 基本当Hello/Hi来用,直接打招呼。

在英语国家,特别在美国,当你在公众场合买衣服,逛超市结账,买吃的,经常会听到服务员说:How are you? 或者How are you doing today? 其实就是礼貌问语而已。

所以你的回答也应该是:积极,简短,礼貌。比如:

Fine, thanks. And you?

(放心用,但是要注意语气)

#国外常用回答#

Good, thanks. And you?

Great, thanks. And you?

朋友之间还可以说:

Couldn’t be better.

Can’t complain/No complaints.

Happy as a clam.

Clam (n) 蛤蜊(一种海鲜)

除了How are you?

你也会经常听到How are you doing? 或者更简单的How you doing? 甚至“Hey, how y’all doin?”

回答同样可以用前面刚才那几种fine, good, great, pretty good,然后接thanks, and you?

朋友之间:

I’m doing great. How about yourself?

I’m doing really well. And you?

I’m doing amazingly well.

I’m doing better than good. How about you?

#总结#

不管对方问的是How are you?还是How are you doing? 或者How’s everything?你都可以回答Fine/Good/Great, thanks, and you?

要显得再热情,还可以说得更详细一点:

I’m good. Thanks, how about you?

I’m doing really well. Thank you. How about yourself.
