【跟外教學地道英語】咋打招呼才地道？

Alison老師來自美國，現在在上海復旦大學攻讀學業。Alison很高興能成爲專屬外教，也歡迎各位滬友同她做朋友！目前她專門開設了一個外教課堂小組，幫助大家學習最地道的英語！戳我去看Alison的主頁>>

我們每天都要同別人打招呼，或是迴應他人的問候，那麼在美國人們都是如何說的呢？現在就讓我們跟着Alison老師學習一下用於朋友、同學之間的隨意問候吧！

1. 在路上擦肩而過，或者要停下來聊天時，可以用到以下這些句子：

Hey! How's it going?
Hey! What's up?
Hey, what's going on?

2. 想要停下來聊天，而不是隨便走過的時候，用下面這些句子：

Long time no see! What are you up to today?
Hey! I haven't seen you in ages! How have you been?

3. 要怎麼回答上面的問題呢？以下這些短語句子都可以~（從上到下依次是從開心到不開心的答案）

【開心時】
Fantastic!
Great!
Pretty good!

【心情一般】
Can't complain!（生活平淡、無甚新奇）
Alright.（有點不好的事兒，但還行）
So-so.（有好事兒有壞事兒，還行）
Could be better, could be worse.（有好事兒有壞事兒，還行）

【不開心時】
Could be better, honestly.（是有些不開心的事，我可能想聊聊，也可能不）
Not so great, actually.（我有不開心的事兒，我想跟你聊聊）

4. 很多小盆友回答完上面那些話就不知道怎麼接了，其實最好的辦法就是自己再多說點，也就是解釋一下你爲啥開心或不開心~~比如以下這些說法：

I saw a great film last night...
I have some interesting work today...
I'm just happy it's Friday!
I'm far too busy today!
I think it's just one of those days, you know?（這句回答用在你不想多解釋、不想多聊的時候。意思就是“我日子過得還行”。這種回答可以避免別人繼續跟你糾纏，但又不至於顯得不禮貌）

接下來是Alison老師對於以上內容的點評哦。Alison老師會繼續深入講解用英語打招呼的技巧點，並分析在說這些句子時大家所存在的共通發音問題~首先來聽一下Alison老師的親口講解吧！

【講解要點】

1. 請大家記得，在用英語跟朋友閒聊的時候，告訴他們你爲什麼開心或不開心是很重要的。如果你和朋友們分享你的心情，分享在你身邊發生的事兒，那麼他們也會跟你分享他們的，這樣彼此的關係纔會更加緊密。所以不用感到拘謹哦。

下面給出一段對話，是發生在同班同學之間的，大家來看看日常生活中的聊天都是怎樣的吧：

"Hey Lauren, long time no see! How's it going?"
"Hey Bethany, it's going alright. I'm a little nervous about my exam tomorrow though."
"Oh I know how you feel! I had a huge exam last week, and I didn't have much time to study".
"Ooh, that's scary. Did you get your marks back yet?"
"Nope - we get them tomorrow."
"Oh ok. Well good luck - let me know how you do, and then we can celebrate finishing our exams together!"
"Definitely! See you tomorrow, and good luck!"

2. 然後，再來讓我們看一看上期節目中的共通發音問題：長音的a，比如在單詞 complain 和 lately 裏，這個 a 的音應該發得有力、有延續感。像這樣：["Com-PLAIN, LATE-ly, Com-PLAIN, LATE-ly"].

3. 最後我想講一講單詞與單詞之間怎麼連讀纔會顯得平順。比如這個詞組：one of those days。當你在發音時，要用 n 的音與 one of 連接起來，讓它們聽起來就像是一個單詞。這種發音現象的產生是因爲 of 是一個元音開頭的單詞。請大家聽我念：["one of those days. One of those days."]

另外一個詞組"What are you up to?"也是同樣的道理，大家再體會一下：["What are you up to? What are you up to?"]

Hey everyone! This is Alison from HJ English. Today I want to talk about some of the common problems I noticed in this week's episode of "English Unraveled: The Basic". This week, we talked about informal English to use with your friends and fellow classmates. It's important to remember that there are lots of different ways to express your feelings in English, so you can be really creative when telling people how you feel.

It's also important to remember that it's ok to tell people WHY you feel happy, sad, tired, nervous or excited. If you want to become better friends with someone, you share more with them, right? If you share something about yourself when you're talking with someone, it makes it easier for them to find something in common with you. Once you find things that you have in common, conversation becomes much easier.

For example, listen to me read this conversation between two classmates, Lauren and Bethany:
"Hey Lauren, long time no see! How's it going?"
"Hey Bethany, it's going alright. I'm a little nervous about my exam tomorrow though."
"Oh I know how you feel! I had a huge exam last week, and I didn't have much time to study".
"Ooh, that's scary. Did you get your marks back yet?"
"Nope - we get them tomorrow."
"Oh ok. Well good luck - let me know how you do, and then we can celebrate finishing our exams together!"
"Definitely! See you tomorrow, and good luck!"

This conversation demonstrates why it's important to explain your feelings when someone asks you how you are. None of that conversation would have been possible if Lauren would not have shared her fear about her exam.

Now I'd like to talk about some common speech problems for this episode. First, pay attention to the Long-A sound, like in the words "complain" and "lately". Long vowel sounds need to be emphasized and stretched out. ["Com-PLAIN, LATE-ly, Com-PLAIN, LATE-ly"].

The last thing I'm going to talk about today is how to connect your words together to help phrases flow smoothly. Let's look at the phrase "one of those days". When you say the words "one of", the 'n' sound connects the two words. It pulls them together so that they really sound like one word. This happens because the word 'of' starts with a vowel. Listen to how I say it: ["one of those days. One of those days"]. The phrase "what are you up to" uses the same idea. ["What are you up to? What are you up to?"]

I hope you find these suggestions useful. Overall, the homework for this week was excellent. Don't forget to connect your words and emphasize your long vowel sounds in next week's episodes! Bye for now!
