商务英语中地道表达“问候”的11种句型
商务英语中地道表达“问候”的11种句型日常口语中我们经常要用到表示“问候”的英语表达,那么有哪些常用的表达方式呢?大家可以根据实际情况选用合适的句型,尽量避免与他人的用词造句过于雷同。
希望本文对你有所帮助!1. How are you doing?你好吗?美国人见面时候最常用的打招呼方式就是: "Hey! How are you doing?" 或是 "How are you?" 不然 "How's going?" 也很常见.。
我觉得这种每天跟别人打招呼的习惯,就是跟美国友人建立良好关系的开始。
2. What's up?什么事?"What's up?" 也是很常用的一种打招呼方式.。
比方说 Bob 在路上看到我跟我说 "Hey! Kun-Lin!" 那我通常就会答说 "Hi! Bob. What's up?" 这就是问对方近来怎样,有什么事吗? 通常如果没什么事人家就会说 "Not much." 不过还有一种情况也很常见,你先跟人家说 "Hey! What's up?" 那别人也不说 "Not much",反而反问一句 "What's up?" 所以 "What's up?" 已经变成有点 Hello! 的味道在里面了。
"What's up?" 也常被用来问人家有什么事?例如有人登门拜访, 你就会说 "What's up?" 到底有何贵干啊? 总之 "What's up?" 在美国应用的很广,各位一定要熟记才是。
我有一个从南非来的朋友David,他对于我的笔记本提供了很多的帮忙和建议。

This sect ion totals 20 poin ts, two points for each questi on.Passage OneIn vest ing thousa nds of pounds in the recruitme nt and training of each new graduate recruit may be just the begi nning. Choos ing the wrong can didate may leave an orga ni sati on pay ing for years to come.Few companies will have escaped all of the following failures: people who panic at the first sight of stress; those with long impressive qualificati ons who seem in capable of lear ning; hypochondriacs whose absentee record becomes astonishing; and the unstable person later discovered to be a thief or worse.Less dramatic, but just as much a problem, is the pers on who simply does not come up to expectations, who does not quite deliver; who never becomes a high-flier or even a steady performer; the employee with a fine future behind them.The first point to bear in mind at the recruitment stage is that people don' change. Intelligence levels decline modestly, but change little over their working life. The same is true of abilities, such as lear ning Ian guages and han dli ng nu mbers.Most people like to think that personality can change, particularly the more negative features such as anxiety, low esteem, impulsiveness or a lack of emotional warmth. But data collected over 50 years gives a clear message: still stable after all these years. Extroverts become slightly less extroverted; the acutely shy appear a little less so, but the fun dame ntals rema in much the same. Personal crises can affect the way we cope with thin gs: we might take up or drop drink, drugs, religion or relaxation techniques, which can be have pretty dramatic effects. Skills can be improved, and new ones in troduced, but at rather differe nt rates. People can be groomed for a job. Just as politicia ns are carefully repackaged through dress, hairstyle and speech specialists, so people can be sent on training courses, diplomas or experime ntal weekends. But there is a cost to all this which may be more than the price of the course. Better to select for what you actually see rather tha n attempt to cha nge it.( )1. The purpose of this passage is to give man agers the advice that .A. Employers should select can didates for their pote ntial.B. Employers should select can didates for what they are rather tha n for their potential.C. Employers should select the newly graduated and send them on training courses,diplomas or experime ntal weeke nds.D. Employers should select experie need can didates to avoid spe nding thousa ndsof pounds in training.( )2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true ? ____________ .A. Absolutely, People don 'tchange during their working lives.B. Gen erally, people cha nge to a large exte nt duri ng their worki ng lives.C. Fun dame ntally, people stay the same duri ng their work ing lives.D. Normally, people don 'tchange at all during their working lives.( )3. What does a fine future behind them (line 3 of paragraph 3) means? ____________ .A. Some people will certai nly have a promisi ng future though they are n ot verycompete nt in their prese nt work.B. Some people don 'have any potential for their work though they are employed.C. Some people can have a bright future though they can 'do their work well.D. Some people have potential when they are employed, but never realize that potential.( )4. According to the passage, people's basic abilities like Ianguage learning and numeracy ____________A. change little over their working life.B. n ever cha nge over their work ing life.C. cha nge fun dame ntally over their worki ng life.D. cha nge profo un dly over their work ing life.( )5. The word deliver (line 2 of paragraph 3) means ________________ .A. to take goods to the places or people they are addressed toB. to give a speechC. to do what you promised to doD. to help a woma n to give birth to a baby.Passage TwoAsia n econo mies will con ti nue to expa nd rapidly in the n ext two years on the back offoreig n in vestme nts, exports and domestic dema nd, but will not be free of worries, accord ing to a recent securities compa ny econo mic report. Massive in frastructure spe nding, the ben efits of past investments and deregulation and growing regional trade will push along regional growth.The report tipped China ' gross domestic product to grow by 9.5 per cent in 1996 and 10.5 per cent in 1997, and Hong Kong ' to grow by 4.3 and 5.0 per cent. Singapore ' real GDP was forecast to grow by 7.6 and 7.4 per cent, Malaysia ' by 8.6 and 8.1 per cent, Thaila nd ' by 8.8 and 8.4 per cen t, I ndon esia 'by 7.3 and 7.1 per cent and Philipp ines ' by 5.6 and 5.8 per cent.However, all is not rosy, ” cautioned the report, which listed overheating as the region ' biggest challe nge in the short term and skilled-labor shortages in the long run.It cited stra ins from rapid growth that had begu n to stretch curre nt acco unt deficits and spur inflation in some regional economies, which could prevent their central banks from loweri ng in terest rates.This implies that econo mic vuln erability to un expected shocks will rema in high, ” the report said, forecasting a further tightening of monetary policy in countries such as the Philipp ines and Malaysia, and no sig ni fica nt eas ing in Thaila nd, Indon esia and China.Crosby Securities also cited massive new in vestme nt programs gen erated by dema nds on in frastructure such as power, telecom muni cati ons and tran sport which had fuelled over-heati ng.It said Asia would also face a bigger challenge from newly deregulating economies in Eastern Europe which offered lower costs and better-educated workers to foreig n in vestors.Asia ' main foreign investors should, however, continue to expand their presence in the region, the securities house said, noting new trends of intra-Asian investment.Singapore is shifting its lower value-added disc drive and electronics industry to Malaysia, which in turn is moving some of its garment-making and consumer electronics manufacturing to Indonesia and Thailand. Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore are increasingly in vesti ng in Viet Nam, Myanmar and Laos.Asia will ben efit from this trend in several ways, ” the report said.( )6 Asia economy will continue to grow because of ________________ .A. foreig n in vestme ntB. dema nds in Asia n coun tries.C. exportD. all of the above( )7 In the next 2 years, the highest economic growth will appear in ______________A. Sin gaporeB. Thaila ndC. Hong KongD. Chi na( )8 Years later, the problem in Asian economy may be ____________________ .A. too little in vestme ntB. too much in vestme ntC. not eno ugh qualified laborsD. mon etary in stability( )9 According to this report, economic changes in East Europe are ______________A. harmfulB. challe ngingC. helpfulD. useless( )10 The report is ___________ about the prospect of Asia n economy.B. pessimisticA. optimisticC. more optimistic tha n pessimisticD. more pessimistic tha n optimisticIII .
