美国人的问候方式
小甜沫East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." At least, that's what English writer Rudyard Kipling said. Truth is, nowadays Easterners and Westerners meet quite often. And when they do meet, naturally, they have to find an appropriate greeting. Aye, there's the rub. What's culturally appropriate for people in one culture may be completely out of line in another culture. So the best approach is to follow the well-known m
axim, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
「东方是东方，西方是西方，两者是不会相会的。」至少，英国短篇小说家吉普林是如此认为。事实上，当今东方人与西方人时常碰面。当他们会面时，自然而然地必须找出一种合适的问候方式。唉，这就麻烦了！在某个文化里可能恰到好处的事，到另一个文化里，就可能过分踰矩。因此，最佳的做法就是遵守这个耳熟能详的行事准则：「入境随俗」。2016年台风
So what's an appropriate salutation for Americans Maybe you already know how to say, "How are you" You might even know the customary respon, "Fine, thanks, and you" Is that all there is to greeting people American-style Well, Americans do often u this trite greeting, and they generally expect nothing but the standard answer. (If you want to shock an American friend, the next time he greets you this way, tell him how you're really doing.) But most Americans enjoy a little variety now and then. In informal ttings, you might hear Americans say, "How's it going" (which doesn't mean, "What's your destination") or "What's up" (which isn't an inquiry about the stock market). Formal situations, on the other hand might call for expressions like "Good morning" or "Hello, it's nice to e you."
那么，对美国人而言，什么才是适当的问候语？可能你已经懂得怎么说「鲁国首都How are you」（你好吗？）你甚至也知道一般常用的回答「Fine, thanks, and you」（我很好，谢谢，你呢？）用美国的方式来问候别人，就仅仅如此而已吗？其实美国人的确常用这老套的问候方式，而他们所期待的，也只是一般的标准回答。（你如果想让你的美国朋友吃惊，下一次他如此问候你时，你就把你真正的感觉告诉他。）但是，多数的美国人偶而会喜欢有些变化。在非正式的场合里，你可能听到美国人说「How's it going」 (它不是在问「你的目的地是哪里？」)或者是「What's up」(它也不是询问股市的动态)而在另一方面，一个正式的场合所使用的问候语，则可能是「Good morning」（早安），或是「Hello, it is nice to e you.」（哈啰！很高兴见到你。）

After the initial "hello," what kind of comments are appropriate to kick off a conversation You might engage in small talk and make a remark about the weather, your job or current events. Or you could ask your American friend about his recent activities or his upcoming plans. If you know that he's been under the weather, you might ask him how he's feeling. But don't make u of personal comments or questions like "Boy, you've put on weight!" or "What are all tho bumps on your face" or "How much did that necklace cost" Americ
ans might take offen at questions or comments about money or their appearance.

说了开场的「Hello」之后，用什么话来适当地打开话闸子呢？你可能与对方闲聊，提及天气、你的工作或是时事。或者，你可以问你的美国朋友他最近做了什么，或是再来的计划有哪些。如果你知道他一直身体不适，你或许可以问他感觉如何。但千万不要用牵涉个人的评语或问题，像是：「唷！你体重又增加了！」或是「你脸上一粒一粒的是怎么来的？」或是「那条项练你花了多少钱？」美国人可能会对于有关金钱以及个人外表的问题或批评，感到反感。
One other caution: In some social contexts, particularly in an office or a professional tting, greetings between the xes should be very conrvative. If you're a man, greeting a woman with a statement like "Wow! You look beautiful today!" may be construed as a come--on. So when you're giving a compliment, the key is to u discretion.
另一项值得注意的：在某种社交场合，尤其是在办公室或专业场合里，两性之间的问候应该非常保守。如果你是男性，而问候女性时你说：「哇！你今天真漂亮！」这可能会被误
解为一种挑逗行为。因此，赞美他人时，仔细斟酌非常重要。安安静静的
What about overt displays of affection, like hugging and kissing Contrary to some stereotypes, Americans don't go around hugging and kissing everyone they meet. Of cour, girls might give each other a squeeze as a friendly gesture, and in some high society circles, a little peck on the cheek is a common courtesy. But except with family members and clo friends, Americans usually don't give out wholesale hugs. Besides that, not all Americans are inveterate huggers anyway. So don't wrap your arms around the next American you e. He or she might be just as uncomfortable as you are.It is only when you meet friends, whom you haven't en for a long time, that you would kiss the cheek of the opposite x. In Britain one kiss is generally enough.
