用英语打招呼发起谈话

Greetings before a Conversation

Sometimes you stop and talk for a minute as you say hello. This type of greeting is followed by a conversation. Close friends often hug when they greet each other, especially after a long time without seeing one other. Men sometimes give each other a hand shake or a high-five (touch palms above the head).

有些时候你在说过“你好”后还会停下来再和对方交谈一两分钟，这种类型的问候将会引出一段谈话。好朋友间经常会在互相打招呼时拥抱对方，尤其是在两人很久没见面的情况下。男士们有时会选择握手或是（在头以上的位置）击掌。
