How to say “Hello”?

随着英语的普及,很多人对英语都不陌生,几乎所有的人都会说“Hi / Hello”等一
些简单的打招呼用语。比如在路上遇到老外,我们会说“Hi”,相反老外也会用中文跟
我们打招呼说“你好”。打招呼是交流中最基本的用语。
下面和大家一起来学习一下英语打招呼常用的地道语,让你的英语水平有一些提
高。
你也许觉得打招呼是一件很简单的事,不就是“Hello.”,“How do you do?”,
“How are you?”,“I’m fine. Thank you. And you?”吗?
没错,你这样打招呼没有什么问题,但真正的美国人日常生活中打招呼是不是也这
样呢?这虽然只是个很简单的问题,但很多博士生也一样说不好,一迈出国门就闹出很
多笑话。让我们看一下美国人怎样打招呼吧!
1. A: How are you doing? 你好吗?
B1: I’m doing great. 我很好。
B2: I’m doing OK. 我还行。
B3: Pretty good. 还好。
B4: Not too bad. 还不错。
B5: I get by. 过得去。
2. A: What’s up? 有什么新鲜事儿?
B: Not much. 没什么。
3. A: What’s new? 近来如何?
B1: Nothing much. I’m still the same. 还是老样子,我一点儿也没变。
B2: Not much. How about you? 没什么。你呢?
(注:这样的回答虽然很常见,但却让你自己感到更沮丧,别人向你问好的时候还是多点
说“Terrific! / Wonderful! / Fabulous! / Never better!”这样的话吧,这会让你一天
的精神都很振奋,别人听起来感觉也会很好。)
另外,我们小学里学到初次见面打招呼用“ How do you do? ”,可是在美国,
很少有人使用“How do you do?”,可能因为时代变迁,也可能因为这主要是英式
用法。初次见面的话用“Nice to meet you.”就可以了,另一方回答时用“Nice to
meet you, too.”

Around the World Around
What’s in a name?

大多数英语国家的人士名字通常由三部分组成:
(1)首名或教名 given name / Christian name(教名) / first name
(2)中间名 middle name
(3)姓氏 surname / family name / last name

Full name=(1)+(2)+(3)
全名=首名+自取名+姓

以詹姆斯•爱伦•格林(James Allen Green)为例:在这个名字里,格林是姓,


首名是詹姆斯,中间名是艾伦;詹姆斯意为“取而代之者”,而爱伦的意思是“英俊
的”。
人们通常会将詹姆斯( James )称呼
为吉姆(Jimmy),吉姆即詹姆斯的简称。
许多英文名有简称,如“ Elizabeth ”可以
简称为“Lizzy”,“Jessica”可以简称为
“Jessie”。
中间名实际上并不常用,所以“詹姆
斯•爱伦•格林”常常会被称作“詹姆斯•格
林”。人们也不会在首名前加上先生、夫
人、夫人或小姐等称呼。通常,先生、夫
人、小姐等称呼会和姓氏连用。我们会说詹姆斯•爱伦•格林(James Green)或格林
先生(Mr. Green),但我们从不说詹姆斯先生(Mr. James)。
英语里的称呼习惯与中国人的称呼习惯是不同的。在中国,首名是姓,姓后面跟着
的部分才是名。如:“周建”,他的姓“周”就放在他的名“建”的前面,如果按英语
的习惯则应变成“Jian Zhou”。

2. …got to go.
这句不发/X/ 的音,而是发/X/ 的音; 前一个//保留口型和发音却并
不发音,但是听者能感到这个音的存在。

3. Have a nice day.


have与a连读,发成//。

4. Let’s keep in touch.


keep与in连读,发成//。

Pronunciation Tips

“辅音+元音”型连读: 在同一个意群里,如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一
个词是以元音开头,这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读,例如:
I’m~an~English boy. It~is~an~old book.
Let me have~a look~at~it. Put~it~on, please. Please pick~it~up.

Around
Around the World

How to say goodbye?

美国人道别的方法和中国人不太一样。当然,中国人的“拜拜”完全是受了美国文
化影响的结果。事实上美国人自己反而不太经常用这个。说“Bye”的情况要么是打电
话的时候,要么是长期告别的时候,平时下班下课道别的时候用得不多。
“ See you. ”是最常用的再见用语了,不过熟人说再见的时候通常都会在“ see
you”后面加上下一次见面的大体时间。比如“See you next time.”,“See you
next week. ”等,如果不确定的话,干脆就说“ See you later. ”,这也比光说
“ See you. ”显得更地道一些。“ See you later. ”有时也被省略成简单的一个词
“Later!”。
此外,关系比较好的朋友之间常会用祝福语来代替简单的说再见,这和中国人
的道别方式很不一样。比如平时下班回家,大家会说“ Have a nice evening! ”,
星期五下班会说“ Have a very good
weekend! ”,甚至感恩节前最后一次道别
也会说“Have a nice Thanksgiving!”,
总之有什么就祝什么。在中文里恐怕还没有
类似的用法,道别时如果说“过一个好的夜
晚”或者“周末好好过”,听上去总还是有
点别扭;当然,也不排除日后因语言的发展
而发生新的变化。
值得一提的是,在美国去商店里买东
西,营业员都会很热情地跟你打招呼,见面
先问“How are you doing?”,结完帐要走人也会跟你说“Have a nice ...”,让人
感觉很温暖。当然如果你很讲礼貌的话,也应跟他说“You too!”,或者可以干脆抢在
前面祝好,那样营业员一定会向你投来友好感谢的目光。

1. Why don’t we go to a park? 最后park读降调。

2. Is it hot in summer? 最后summer读升调。

3. I like fall. 最后fall读降调。

Pronunciation Tips

音调的上扬或下降叫语调(intonation),英语中最常见的有升调(rising intonation)和
降调(falling intonation)。
1. 升调一般用于:一般疑问句、祈使句(表示委婉、客气)、陈述句(含有感情色彩时,如不
肯定、疑问、安慰、不耐烦等)。如:
(1)一般疑问句的正常语调。 Shall I tell him to come and see you?
(2)用于陈述句形式的疑问句中,期待得到对方证实。You like her?
(3)用于特殊疑问句中,语气亲切热情。 What have you got there?
(4)用于某些感叹句中,表示轻快、活泼、鼓励等意义。How beautiful!
2. 降调一般用于:陈述句、特殊疑问句、祈使句(表示命令)、惊叹句。英语句子的降调一般
都是由高到底(或由低到高,再由高到底),一个音节一个音节顺次向下降。如:
(1)语调或升或降,或高或低,一般都落在 When can I meet ↘(降) you?
短语或句子的最后一个重音上。 Do you want a cup of coffee ↗(升) ?
(2)用于陈述句表示肯定的意义。 Swimming is my favorite ↘ sport.
(3)语气较强的命令。 Tell me all about ↘ it.
(4)降调用于一般疑问句表示说话人的态度
粗率、不耐烦或不高兴。 Have you got the ↘ tickets?

How to Talk about the Weather?

中国人聊天,常常会谈及天气;在英语国家里,人们也相当重视天气。
对于西方人来说,谈论天气是寒暄的方法之一,这样的话题通常比较容易展开。而
且人们常常会关心天气的变化,对话双方既无需担心因话题选择不当而冒犯了对方,又
免于陷入面面相觑、无话可说的僵局。尤其是在英国这样一个天气变化无常的国度里,
谈话的开始往往是对天气的一番评论,甚至不禁让人觉得英国人无时无刻都在谈论天
气。
有这么一个关于英国人谈论天气的小故事,萧伯纳(George Bernard Shaw)有
一次在散步时遇到个老先生,那位老先生跟他打招呼说:Good afternoon, Mr. Shaw!
It's such a lovely day, isn't it?(下午好,萧伯纳先生!今儿天气真是不错,不是
吗?)
萧伯纳回答到:Oh, yes. But twenty
people have told me about it in past
two hours. Thank you.(是啊,但是两个
小时里已经有20多个人跟我这么说了啊!)
由此可见英国人对谈论天气的钟爱。
故事中的对话所用到的“ Lovely day,
isn't it?”(天气不错,不是吗?)便是用来
作为谈话的开端,由此来引入对其它话题的
谈论。
既然西方人这么关心天气,那么他们都是怎样谈论天气的呢?以下就是一些常见的
关于天气的表达方式:
What's the weather like today? 今天天气怎么样?
Wha's the weather going to be like at the weekend? 周末天气会怎么样呢?
What's the weather like in your hometown? 你家乡的天气怎么样?
It's fine / cloudy / rainy today. 今天天气不错/多云/有雨。
It's getting cold / warm in two days. 两天后要变冷/暖和。
It's rather warm / cold / hot today, isn't it? 今天很暖和/冷/热,不是吗?
—Beautiful day / Lovely day, isn't it? —Yes, it is.
—— 天气不错,不是吗?—— 是的。
Hopefully tomorrow will turn out fine. 希望明天是个好天气。

读//时注意咬舌音//。

3. I think….
//

Pronunciation Tips

英语中有两个咬舌音:// 和//, 咬舌音在发音时需用舌尖抵上齿的边缘, 并将舌身平放。


其中//是清辅音,发音时声带不振动;//是浊辅音, 发音时声带振动。
汉语中没有咬舌音,因此常会和//、//或//、//相混。所以发音时一定要让上下齿咬住
舌头。
在英语中,发//和//音的,只有字母“th”组合。

发音练习:// thin // 薄的 thrift // 节约

What is TIME?

很多英语国家的人都有着非常强的时间观念。对于他们来说,守时是一种美德,
也是对他人的尊重。他们甚至会把时间等同于金钱,“ Time is money, money is
time.”
相比之下,中国人的时间观念就没有那么强了,从汉语在时间方面的表达就可以看
出来。在汉语里,谈及时间,最常见到的语句就是:差不多,还行,到时再说吧……如
果与人相约的话,很多中国人最习惯的说法则是:上午吧,下午吧,晚上吧……至于具
体几时,则要根据两人对时间的感觉而定。如果与外国人相约,那么外国人必定会追问
一句:上午几点?下午几点?晚上几点?
其实不同的国家和地区,对于“准时”的理解也是不一样的。对多数欧洲人和美国
人来说,让别人等候是不礼貌的行为,即使你的客户迟到,你也应按时赴约。而有些国
家对此就不大在意。俄罗斯人在时间安排上就比较随心所欲。在中南美洲以及一些中东
国家,预约也都是定个大概时间,如果你按约定时间前往,则往往要等上一个小时甚至
更长的时间。对阿拉伯人来说,工作远不如家庭、朋友及宗教重要,他们对时间的感觉
是“看上帝的安排”。相比之下,亚洲人其实是非常守时的,他们常常会比约定时间提
前几分钟到场,但菲律宾人经常迟到。然而,值得注意的是,如今许多英国人也养成了
赴约迟到的坏毛病,根据不久前的一份调查报告显示,当下在英国,人均每周因等候浪
费47分钟,一年共损失37小时。
因此,无论你准备去哪里,都应该事先了解一下当地人的时间观念,免得让自己或
者他人花太多的时间在相互等待之上。

世界各地有关准时的指南
* 对“准时”极为看重的国家:所有的北欧国家(斯堪的纳维亚诸国、德国、瑞
士、比利时等)
* 对“准时”采取赞赏和期待态度的国家:加拿大、澳大利亚、英国、法国和美
国。
* 对“准时”态度比较缓和的国家:欧洲南部(西班牙、意大利、希腊等国家),
还有绝大多数地中海国家。
* 对“准时”持宽松态度的国家:绝大多数拉丁美洲国家——在那里你尽可以把手
表抛在一边!

Pronunciation Please pay attention to some pronunciations. Let's practice them together.

1. Thanks.
//, 注意词尾的“s”发清辅音// 。

2. This suit looks nice.


looks / /, 注意词尾的“s”发清辅音// 。

3. It is …. = It’s ….
It is //, It’s //。

Pronunciation Tips

英语中有以s(或es)结尾的单词很多,如: 可数名词的复数形式、动词的第三人称单数形式
等, 这些单词的发音规则如下:
s 在//,//,//,//等清辅音后发// ,
如:shops /X/,cakes //, puts //,makes //;
 s在//,//,//,//,//等音后发//,
e
如:classes //,foxes /X/,washes //,
teaches //,ages //;
s其他情况下(包括元音和浊辅音)发//,
如:shoes //,pens //,goes //,reads //。

总之,可总结为一个规则:如果s前面的音为清辅音,则s发成清辅音//;如果s前面的音为
浊辅音或元音,则s发成浊辅音//。即“清读清,浊读浊”。

How to Make a Phone Call?

电话英语要力求做到语音清晰、简洁、明了。那么,如何在最短的时间限制内做到
准确、得体、有效的交流呢?在拨打和接听电话时,要注意以下几点:
(1) 注意打电话的时间,不同时间的电话的重要性有所不同,一般说来,打电话最
适当的时间段是上午九点到晚上九点半之间,要尽量避免深夜、凌晨或节假日。如果有
紧急事,深夜或凌晨打电话给别人,别忘了先说一声:

I'm sorry to bother you so early.
I'm sorry to wake you up.
如果在周末或节假日因公事打电话到私人家,应说:
I'm so sorry to call you at your home on your day off, but …
如果你的电话可能要持续一些时间,最好先问对方一句:现在讲话方便吗?
Is this a convenient time to talk?
(2) 在电话接通时,先自报家门(identify yourself)。例如:
This is Ken.
Ken speaking.
Hello, this is Ken speaking
然后,再说想与谁讲话,或询问某人在不在。例如:
Is that Ann?
Hello, is this 9448699?
Is Ann in / there / around?
I'd like to speak to Ann, please.

Public Transportation

公共交通工具都是人们日常出行的主要方式。随着城市的发展,公交系统也日益多
元化,可供人们选择的公共交通工具也越来越多,最常见的自然是公共汽车(bus)、
地铁(subway)和出租车(taxi)了。
每个城市都会设有不同线路的公共汽车通往城市的各个地方,如果你对某个城市比
较熟悉,那么出行选择公共汽车既方便又便宜。“乘坐公共汽车”在英语中是“take a
bus”,要是不小心出门晚了没有赶上某一路公交车,就可以说“miss the bus”,这
里的“miss”就是“错过”的意思。
除了公共汽车之外,地铁也是人们日常出行的首选公共交通工具之一。某些地
方很可能会没有公共汽车直达,需要先“ take the subway ”(搭地铁)然后再
“transfer to a bus”(转乘公共汽车)。如果你想要询问附近的地铁站怎么走,可以
说:“Excuse me, how can I get to the
subway station?”
如果身处一个陌生的城市,或者路途较
远需要多次换乘,又或者出门赶时间,那
么招手或打电话叫一辆“的士”就能快速
解决你的出行问题。“打的”在英语中是
“get a taxi”, “打的去某地”就是“go to
somewhere by taxi”。
至于去一些比较近的地方,我们也可以
散着步慢慢走过去,“步行”用英语说就是
“on foot”,“走路去某地”是“go to somewhere on foot”。
值得注意的是,我们还可以用“by” 加上交通工具的名称来表示“搭乘某种交通工
具”,如:by bus(搭公车), by car(搭汽车),by boat(乘船),by ship(乘
轮船),by plane(搭飞机),by train(搭火车),by subway(搭地铁)。

Around the WorldAround
Different Types of Tourism

现在国内常见的旅游方式主要有两种:一是团体旅游,二是自助旅游。
团体旅游(package tour / group tour / organized tour)是指旅游者一般按旅游
批发商制订的日程、路线、交通工具、收费标准等作出抉择后事先登记,付款后到时成
行。优点是日程、线路、所住旅馆、参观节目都按计划进行,收费比单独出游较低,尤
其去某些语言有隔阂的国家和地区,团队派有导游,是颇受旅客欢迎的。
自助旅游( self-organized expedition / self-funded travel / private tour,
independent trave / DIY tour)是不完全依赖旅行社套装行程的一种旅游方式,也就
是说完全由旅行者自行安排交通,住宿(包括露营的方式),以及想要参观的景点。这
里说的不完全依赖的意思是指,自助旅游也有可能需要请旅行社帮忙安排三到四天的参
观活动以及机票、车票、旅馆的预订。现在很多人都有了自己的车,于是“自驾游”
(self-driving travel / tour)也成了自助游
的一个重要的形式。
