原标题:Greetings after a short break 小别后的问候
问候本期节目的问题
Hi, I was wondering what is the correct way to ask a friend about last weekend: “How was your weekend?” or “How about your weekend?”
Thanks, Yan
本期节目内容简介
“How was your weekend?”是我们常听到的问候语,在回答别人的时候,如能加上一两句自己的真实、具体的感受或经历是最好不过的了。在回复后若想回问一下对方,则可以用“How about yours?”这个句型。 除了问候周末过得怎么样以外,how was... 还适用于很多其它的问候句。在节目中,我们将通过例句给大家做更详细的介绍。

谢谢 Yan 的提问。“How was your weekend?”和“How about your weekend?” 应该说是我们最常听到的有关周末问候的句子。这两句话的不同之处是 was 和 about。Yan 的问题是想知道当你想问朋友“周末过得怎样”时怎么说? 在多数情况下,尤其是当你先问候朋友的时候“How was your weekend?”是英国人最常用的问候句之一 。请听例句。
Example
A: Good morning. 早上好。
B: Morning, John. How was your weekend? 早上好,John。你周末过得怎样啊?
A: Great. I went to see my friends in Leeds. 很好。我到利兹去看朋友了。
Helen
那如何使用“How about your weekend”呢?当你在回复别人的问候之后,同时也想顺便问候一下对方,那你就可以用“How about your weekend ?”接着听例句。
Example
A: Good morning. 早上好。
B: Morning, John. How was your weekend? 早上好,John。你周末过得怎样啊?
A: Great. I went to see my friends in Leeds. How about your weekend? 很好。我到利兹去看朋友了。你的周末过得怎样呢?
B: I stayed in and tidied up my garden. 我在家过的,顺便把花园整理了一下。
Helen
“How was”的问句非常有用,通常在朋友休假后,旅行后或是去参加了什么活动后,碰到时都可以用 “how was”, 一般是提起对对方已经发生过事情的想法的询问。 一起来看看几个例句吧。
Examples
How was your holiday? 你的度假过得怎样啊?
How was your trip? 你旅行得怎样?
How was your break? 你休假怎样了?
How was your meeting? 你的会议怎么样?
Helen
当然,见面的问候语在各种语言中都非常丰富,在英语中也不例外。关于小别后的问候,我们常听到的还有:
Examples
What did you get up to at the weekend? 你周末干啥了?
What did you do at the weekend? 你周末忙什么了?
Did you have a good weekend? 你周末过得还好吧?
Helen
当别人问候我们的时候,除了回复 yes 或 no 之外,通常人们会说一两句所做的事情或者是感受。 比如。
Examples
A: Good to see you, Jack. How was your trip? 很高兴见到你 Jack。你的旅行怎样啊?
B: It was brilliant. We travelled all around Asia and I had the time of my life. 太棒了。我们在亚洲走了一圈,度过我一生中最美好的时光。
C: What were you up to at the weekend? 你的周末干了些什么?
D: Not much, revising for my exams actually. 没干啥,准备考试呢。
Helen
好了,希望今天我们的节目能够帮助大家在与朋友小别后,轻松地相互问候。“How was your weekend?”是我们常听到的问候句, 回答别人的时候时,加上一两句自己的感受或经历是最完美的回复,如果回复后也想顺便问候一下对方,就用“How about yours?” By the way, how was our lesson today? Hope you like it.
