我們都知道打招呼用
- How are you?
- Fine, and you?
或者
- How's it going?
- OK. How's it going with you?"
除此之外
我們在美劇中也會經常看到
朋友見面用
What's up?
來打招呼的
遇到這句話
又該怎麼回應呢？
我們先來一起認識一下
“What's up?”的意思是什麼
(something) is up means something is happening. "What's up?" is just another way of saying "What's happening?" / "What's going on (that might interest me the speaker)?"
Sth is up意思是sth is happening（某事）發生。“What's up?”其實是“What's happening?（發生了什麼）”，“What's going on(能勾起發問者興趣的事情)？”的另一種形式。
That is an expression that has about as much meaningfulness as "How are you?" or "How's it going?"
這是一個和"How are you?"、"How's it going?" 基本上有相同意義的表達。
All, including "What's up?" are used as greetings.
它們所有的，包括"What's up?"都可以用作打招呼。
It has however fallen into common usage both in the US and UK.
它在美國和英國都已成為常用用法。
如何回應“What's up?”
就問候這一層面來講，你的回覆只是需要簡單的回應它的打招呼，或者是說明情況一切正常，沒有什麼特別的事情發生即可。
-What's up?
忙什麼呢？
-Not much / nothing, how about with you?
沒啥，你呢？
還有一些情況就是你身邊確實發生了些什麼，或者你手頭正在做什麼，你就可以直接交代出來，
比方說你正在洗車，然後有人見到你問候你
-What’s up?
忙什麼呢？
你就可以說
- Not too much, just trying to get my car clean.
沒什麼，就是清理清理我的車。
又或者你正在街邊散步
有人過來跟你打招呼
-What’s up?
忙什麼呢？
你就可以說
- Just trying to get a little exercise in. What’s up with you?
就鍛鍊一下，你呢？
