Well, hello there … （哇，是你啊……）。 请注意“hello”一词语气加重，在这里表示梅格没料到会遇见朱莉亚。
Long time, no see! （好久不见！）这是一句向好久没见面的人打招呼时的常用语。
What a ___! 表示高度的惊讶、惊喜、失望，等等。如What a surprise to see you here!（真没想到这这里见到你！） What a joy to have you with us! （你能和我们在一起真是太高兴了！）What a shame that you have to leave so soon! （你这么快就要走了，真是太遗憾了！）What a wonderful idea that is!（那个主意真是太妙了！）
You always did have good taste! 请注意，这里梅格重音强调“did”，以表示朱莉亚的品味实在是好。梅格是用玩笑的方式说这番话的，因为朱莉亚的喜好和她一样。
What a small world （世界真小!）常用来形容不期而遇或类似的巧事。
