1. 当有人用"How do you do?"进行问候时,一种中规中矩的回答是:同样地问对方"How do you do?"。
2. 另一种回答方式是使用"How are you?"来应对。例如:"I'm fine, and how are you?"或者"Pretty good, and how do you do?"。
3. 或者,可以直接用"Nice to meet you."来回应,这是一个非常灵活的回答。
虽然"How do you do?"是以问句的形式表达,但它并不是一个真正的疑问句。它的含义是问候对方,询问对方近况,类似于中国人见面时问"你吃了没有",其实并不是真的想知道对方是否已经用餐,而是一种见面的寒暄。
一些见面时的常用寒暄语及其回复包括:
1. "How are you?" - "I am great."
2. "How are you doing?" - "Fine, thank you, and you?"
3. "How is your day?" - "It is Very good."
4. "How is everything going these days?" - "everything is going well."
5. "What's up?" - "It is nothing."
6. "How are you going?" - "pretty good."
