Jane: Hi Helen! How’s it going?

Helen: Fine, thanks — and you?

Jane: Just fine. Where are you off to?

Helen: To the library. I’ve got a history exam next week and need to start studying. Ugh.

Jane: Oh, no. Well, I’ll see you later then. Good luck!

Helen: Thanks. See you later.

语言点

点击阅读英文解释
• “Hi” 是比“hello” (你好)更为随便的打招呼方式。请注意“hi”当中的”i”发音较长,表示珍妮见到海伦非常高兴。

• “How’s it going?” (字面意思:情况怎样?)是比“How are you?”(你好吗?)更随便的问候方式。

• “Fine, thanks—and you?” (我很好,谢谢。你呢?)。请注意,说“and you?”时候用升调。在这个例子中用以表明海伦期待听到珍妮的回答。

• “Where are you off to?” (你往哪儿去?)是比“Where are you going?”(“你去哪里?”)更为随便的表达方式。注意用降调。这是一个问具体情况的特殊疑问句,而不是单纯用是/不是、对/不对(“yes/no”)来回答的一般疑问句。

• “To the library.”(去图书馆)。这里海伦没有使用“I’m going”(我要去),因为它紧接上面“Where are you off to?”的问话,不言而喻。

• “Oh, no” 是表达“I sympathize with you”(我同情你)或者“I understand you are not happy.”(我理解你的不痛快)的一种方式。

• “See you later”(回头见)是“goodbye.”(再见)的非正式表达法。

Jane: Hi, Helen! How’s it going?

Helen: Fine, thanks — and you?

Jane: Just fine. Where are you off to?

Helen: To the library. I’ve got a history exam next week and need to start studying. Ugh.

Jane: Oh, no. Well, I’ll see you later then. Good luck!

Helen: Thanks. See you later.

Language notes

• “Hi” is an informal way of saying “hello.” Notice that the “i” sound in “hi” is extended, to show that Jane is very pleased to see Helen.

• “How’s it going?” is an informal way of saying “How are you?”

• “Fine, thanks — and you?” Notice the rising intonation on “and you?” This shows that Helen is interested in what Jane has to say.

• “Where are you off to?” is an informal way of saying “Where are you going?” Notice the falling intonation since this is an information question, not a “yes/no” question.

• “To the library.” Notice that Helen does not say “I’m going” here because that information was already established in the question “Where are you off to?”

• “Oh, no.” is a way of saying “I sympathize with you” or “I understand you are not happy.”

• “See you later” is an informal way of saying “goodbye.”
