Greetings: 打招呼、招呼方式
#1. What's up?
"What's up?" 算是日常口语里用得最多的打招呼方式了。什么意思？
不要逐字理解，它的意思就是“好吗？怎么样？”
怎么用？
1）它可以既当问题，又可以当答案，而且不需要真正回答。
A: Hey Spencer, what's up?
B: Hey, Jenny, what's up?
2）打电话的时候，还可以当作“喂”来用。不过只限于认识的人。
A: Hey, Spencer, is it a good time to talk?
B: Sure, Jenny. What's up?
＊不过What's up? 只适合日常口语，正式场合不要用，太随意了。＊

＃2. What's going on?
“What's going on?”和“What's up”的意思很像，但它更具体。
注意："What's going on?"只能当问题用，而不是回答。
怎么回答？
掌握一个原则：
Be brief：简洁、简短就好
Reply: 回答、回复

如何回答？用这些
＊这些用来回答“What's up？”和“What's going on?”都可以。
Not bad.
Good.
Great.
Excellent!
Same old same old.
Same thing different day.
"What"开头，还有哪些最常用的打招呼说法？
What's up？
What's going on?
What's good?
What's new?

＃3. How are you doing?
“How are you doing?"也是“你好吗？怎么样”的意思。
它是美国大城市，比如纽约，很常用的打招呼方法。
“How"开头，还有哪些最常用的打招呼说法？
How is it going?
How are you doing?
How are things?
How is life?
Spencer节目里对"How's life?"的回答也很值得学哦！
Life has its ups and downs：生活总是有高有低
But overall, life is good: 但是总体来说很好

＃4. What have you been up to?
前面教大家的都是日常每天能用的打招呼方式。
但是，如果遇到有段时间没见的朋友，大家可以用这两句：
What have you been up to?
What have you been up to lately?
这两句都是比较具体的“你这段时间怎么样，在干什么”的意思。
怎么回答？
Not much.
Same old same old.
I've been really busy at work.
