Helen
大家好,歡迎收聽 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)節(jié)目《你問我答》,我是 Helen。在這檔節(jié)目中,我們會(huì)回答朋友們發(fā)來的有關(guān)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)和英國(guó)生活、習(xí)俗及文化的相關(guān)問題。今天的問題來自網(wǎng)友 Yan。她的提問是:
Question
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
Helen
謝謝 Yan 的提問?!癏ow was your weekend?”和“How about your weekend?” 應(yīng)該說是我們最常聽到的有關(guān)周末問候的句子。這兩句話的不同之處是 was 和 about。Yan 的問題是想知道當(dāng)你想問朋友“周末過得怎樣”時(shí)怎么說? 在多數(shù)情況下,尤其是當(dāng)你先問候朋友的時(shí)候“How was your weekend?”是英國(guó)人最常用的問候句之一 。請(qǐng)聽例句。
Example
A: Good morning. 早上好。
B: Morning, John. How was your weekend? 早上好,John。你周末過得怎樣?。?br />
A: Great. I went to see my friends in Leeds. 很好。我到利茲去看朋友了。
Helen
那如何使用“How about your weekend”呢?當(dāng)你在回復(fù)別人的問候之后,同時(shí)也想順便問候一下對(duì)方,那你就可以用“How about your weekend ?”接著聽例句。
Example
A: Good morning. 早上好。
B: Morning, John. How was your weekend? 早上好,John。你周末過得怎樣?。?br />
A: Great. I went to see my friends in Leeds. How about your weekend? 很好。我到利茲去看朋友了。你的周末過得怎樣呢?
B: I stayed in and tidied up my garden. 我在家過的,順便把花園整理了一下。
Helen
“How was”的問句非常有用,通常在朋友休假后,旅行后或是去參加了什么活動(dòng)后,碰到時(shí)都可以用 “how was”, 一般是提起對(duì)對(duì)方已經(jīng)發(fā)生過事情的想法的詢問。 一起來看看幾個(gè)例句吧。
Examples
How was your holiday? 你的度假過得怎樣???
How was your trip? 你旅行得怎樣?
How was your break? 你休假怎樣了?
How was your meeting? 你的會(huì)議怎么樣?
Helen
當(dāng)然,見面的問候語(yǔ)在各種語(yǔ)言中都非常豐富,在英語(yǔ)中也不例外。關(guān)于小別后的問候,我們常聽到的還有:
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? 你周末過得還好吧?
Helen
當(dāng)別人問候我們的時(shí)候,除了回復(fù) yes 或 no 之外,通常人們會(huì)說一兩句所做的事情或者是感受。 比如。
Examples
A: Good to see you, Jack. How was your trip? 很高興見到你 Jack。你的旅行怎樣?。?br />
B: It was brilliant. We travelled all around Asia and I had the time of my life. 太棒了。我們?cè)趤喼拮吡艘蝗Γ冗^我一生中最美好的時(shí)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. 沒干啥,準(zhǔn)備考試呢。
Helen
好了,希望今天我們的節(jié)目能夠幫助大家在與朋友小別后,輕松地相互問候?!癏ow was your weekend?”是我們常聽到的問候句, 回答別人的時(shí)候時(shí),加上一兩句自己的感受或經(jīng)歷是最完美的回復(fù),如果回復(fù)后也想順便問候一下對(duì)方,就用“How about yours?” By the way, how was our lesson today? Hope you like it.
再次感謝 Yan 的提問,歡迎大家和我們聯(lián)系,我們的郵箱是 questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk 我是 Helen,下次節(jié)目再見!
