greeting 問候(n.)

首先，可以說我是XXX或我的名字是XXX。
Hi, I'm XXX.
Hello, my name is XXX.

那麼，Hi跟Hello有差別嗎？
意思上是一樣的，但Hello較Hi正式。

接著來看一段對話吧！

Male
Hi.

Female
Hello.

Male
I'm Carlos. What's your name? 我是卡洛斯。妳的名字是？
補充：正式場合的說法是 May I have your name?

Female
My name is Sally Lee. Just call me Sally.

Male
Nice to meet you, Sally.

Female
Nice to meet you, too. 我也很高興見到你。

從以上對話，我們知道詢問對方名字可以用What's your name?
並且也得知，第一次見面可以說Nice to meet you.

說再見的可以用Bye.或是Goodbye.
兩者意思相同，但Goodbye較為正式。

Female
Hi.

Male
Hello.

Female
I'm Sally. Sally Phillips. I'm new.

Male
Sally. How do you spell your last name? 莎莉，妳的姓氏怎麼拚？
補充：first name指的是名字，last name則是指姓氏。

Female
It's P-H-I-L-L-I-P-S.

Male
I see. Here you are.

Female
Thank you. 謝謝。
補充：也可以用Thanks，但Thank you較為正式。

Male
You are welcome. 別客氣。

可以用這２句話來詢問對方的名字怎麼拚寫。
How do you spell your name?
How do you spell that?

Female
Good morning, Tom.
補充： 除了Hello/Hi之外，也可以說Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening。與人道別或睡覺前則可以說Good night.

Male
Good morning, Jane.
How are you today? 妳今天好嗎？
補充：Use the greeting How are you? in formal or business situations. 在正式或商務的場合向別人問候則是說How are you? 回答則可以說I'm good./I'm fine, thanks. And you?

Female
I'm fine, thanks.
And you? 你呢？

Male
I'm good.

Female
Have a nice day. 祝妳有美好的一天。

Male
You, too.
