• 问候语good morning/good afternoon/good evening早上好/下午好/晚上好)在一天的不同时间使用。 “Good evening”(晚上好)常常用于晚上6点以后或太阳下山以后。

• “Good night”(晚安)不是问候语,而是用在离开的时候。例如:Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.谢谢你,晚安! / 晚安,明天见)。

• 在美国,人们见面时习惯相互握手。握手要有力,通常大约持续两、三秒钟,正好有足够的时间说“Nice to meet you.”(很高兴见到你)。

• “Don’t mention it.”是“You’re welcome.” (不用客气)的另一种表达法。“You’re welcome.”略微正式一些。而Don’t mention it. 不必提它)/No problem. 没问题)/Happy to help.高兴帮忙)是在别人说thank you(谢谢)时比较轻松随便的回答方式。

Language notes

• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when the sun has set.

• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.

• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”

• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it/No problem/Happy to help are informal ways of responding to a thank you.
