讲解: 其实英美国家的人很少为了谈天气而谈论天气，陌生人在一起的时候，比如在火车上，地铁上，侯机厅里等等，为了摆脱彼此间面面相觑的尴尬，为了活跃气氛，大家会不约而同的谈论天气，这样就可以自然地引出许多其他的话题。 好天气的说法： Lovely day, isn't it? Isn't it beautiful? The sun is shining! Isn't it gorgeous? Wonderful, isn't it? It's so nice and hot! Personally, I think its so nice when it's hot-isn't it? I adore it, don't you? 糟糕的天气： Nasty day, isn't it? Isn't it dreadful? The rain again...I hate rain. I don't like it at all. Fancy such a day in July. Rain in the morning, then a bit of sunshine, and then rain, rain, rain all day along. 补充： What's the weather like today?
今天天气怎么样？ How cold is it today?

Part 4 Greeting and Saying Good-bye 打招呼和说再见 Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1 Anna: Hi, Wayne, haven't see you for a while. What have you been doing? Wayne: Not much. Actually, I've had my head in the books for the last month or so. I've been studying for my mid-semester exams. Anna: Really? You don't seem to be doing much at the moment. Wayne: No. I've been reading books in the library all morning, so I just decided to have a break and check my e-mail on one of those computers. Anna: I'm not very good with computer myself. I have trouble even doing simple word processing. Wayne: Hmmm. I did one unit of computer studies in my first year at university so I don't find it difficult at all. Anna: Speaking of difficulty, I hear that you want to study radio broadcasting this semester. Wayne: Well, no. I did enroll in radio at the beginning of the year, but I changed my mind, now I want to study photo-journalism instead. Actually, I have to got to the communications and media studies department to change my enrollment. Anna: When are you going to go, today? Wayne: Yes, well, I'd better go now. Anna: Would you like a lift? I'm going to the campus myself. Wayne: OK! Thank you! 讲解: 恰当的招呼问候能活跃气氛，增进友谊。中国人常见的问候语象“你吃了吗？”“你上哪去？”等等，其实现在也不是很常用了，在英语里就不适用。用英语打招呼，首先要区分是熟人还是不熟的人，遇见熟人说句：How are you？，有时间的话也可以多聊一些，像刚才的对话中，两个人就聊起了学习方面的事。如果遇见不太熟的人，说一句"hi""hello"就足够了。 另外还要注意一般不要打探人家的隐私。一般情况下，大家都是谈论关于兴趣、爱好、旅游、共同认识的朋友、工作啊等等。有时候我们还用身势语和人打招呼，比如点头微笑。 见面后大家谈论的话题、内容都要依据对方的兴趣、爱好等等，不能见什么人什么都说，所谓“人逢知己千杯少，话不投机半句多”，就是这个道理。 问候的常见表达方式： What's new? –nothing special. How are you doing? How's everything going? How are you getting on these days? How are things going with you? Hello there, what a coincidence! Haven't seen you for ages. It's a small world, isn't it? 回答的表达方式: I'm doing ok, thank you. Can't explain. All right, thank you. Pretty good, thank you. Things couldn't be better. Not bad!等等 再见的一些说法 Take care, bye! Cheerio! See you later! Bye! Keep in touch! Byebye! So long! 下面这几句虽然没有明显的标记，但是弦外之音都是要结束对话了，这时你就不要再说个没完了。 It's been very nice talking to you. Remember me to your family. Send my regards to your family. Hope to see you again at the next science fair. Remember to drop me a line!
