日常問候用語是考生必須熟練運(yùn)用的知識,這與考生的口語操練有很大關(guān)系。說促進(jìn)聽,是許多英語學(xué)習(xí)者的心得。而且日常問候要視人而定,如英國人見面談天氣,美國人見面問身體等。下面作詳細(xì)介紹:

? ? ? ?問候類(Greetings)

  英語中的問候用語非常繁多,正式的通常有:

  How do you do ?(初次見面通常用語)

  How are you?(比較熟悉的人之間用語)

  How are you getting along with...?(你近來...可好?)

  How are you doing?(您工作還順利吧?)

  How is everything?(一切還好吧?)

  How is your vacation/holiday(s)/Christmas Day/weekend?(假期怎么樣?)

  當(dāng)今美國社會流行口語用語,大致有:

  What's up?(近來可忙?)

  Hello?Hi?

  What's going on ?(近來可好?)

  How is life?

  How is it going?anything new?

  Pleased to meet you again!

  對以上問候的對答通常有

? ? ? ?How do you do!??

  Fine!Thank you,and you?

  Every is fine!

  I'm just great!

  Very(quite)well,thank you!

  Couldn't be better,thank you!

  Not bad!

  Can't complain!

  Just soso.

  值得一提的是,隨著美語越來越廣泛地滲透,聽力中用美語朗讀且以美國社會為背景的題材的趨勢愈加明顯??忌⒁馊粘?谡Z對話,及時吸取信息,將對聽力有很大的幫助。請看下面的對話:
