大家好，我是薇老师，欢迎来到有趣的中文，今天我们的话题是。中国人打招呼的有趣方式，先说说日常通用的打招呼用语。在中国最常见的就是你好，它有两种说法，您好！比较正式，一般在商务会议上或者遇到长辈第一次见面的人，我们会用您好！这样会感觉特别有礼貌，比如你去参加会议，见到新的客户说声您好，对方一定觉得你很尊重他。
而你好就随意一些朋友，同龄人之间。会说你好，感觉轻松又友好，比如在学校里，同学们见面笑着说声你好！一下子就拉近了距离。
还有按时间说的问候语。比如早上从日出到上午九点，中国人会说早上好！
你早上出门遇到了邻居，笑着说声，早上好！大家心情都会变好。
早上九点以后到午饭前我们可以说上午好，中午11点到下午一点。
我们一般说中午好，因为这个时间差不多是吃午饭的时候。
在这之后的时间我们可以用，下午好来打招呼，下午六点以后天慢慢黑了。
就可以说晚上好，这些不同时间的问候语，让交流更有礼貌。
再讲讲亲切熟络的打招呼方式。
吃了吗？这是中国非常传统的问候语，它和中国重视饮食的文化有关。
在中国一起吃饭是很重要的事，代表关系亲近，所以这句问候体现了对别人的关心。
以前人们这么问是真的想知道对方有没有吃饭，现在更多是一种亲切的打招呼方式。
问的人一般也不期待对方的回答，比如在社区碰到邻居笑着问一句吃了吗？
就表示很友好，你最近怎么样，你去哪儿了，也是常见的亲切问候，朋友之间这么问，就是想了解对方的生活，分享开心的事和烦恼的事。
好久没见的朋友见面会问你最近怎么样，你最近怎么样，然后就可以一起分享好多有趣的事。
中国很大，不同地方打招呼的方式也不一样，在广东人们会说。
意思就是你好，这是广东话里的问候语，很有地方特色。
除了这些，在天津人们打招呼会说嘛去，意思是去哪儿？
这可不是简单问要去哪里，而是天津人表示友好，开启聊天的方式。
不过在你用嘛去打招呼时，要注意和对方的关系，不太熟的人可能不太适合这么问。
最后说说特定场景的打招呼方式，在工作的地方，同事之间日常聊天。吃了吗？很常用，能拉近彼此关系，但早上上班或正式商务场合要用。早上好！您好！这些正式的问候语开会时我们一般会用，大家好！来开始结束时会说，谢谢大家，这是对参加会议的人表示尊重。在学校里，同学们见面会说你好，学校有活动，我们又会说您好！这样会更有礼貌，同学们分开时会说再见，或者明天见，表示希望下次还能见面。
好了，今天关于中国人打招呼的方式就分享到这里，希望大家能学会这些打招呼的用语。
感谢你的收听！我们下次再见！



Intresting Chinese有趣的中文

快来看，中国人打招呼的方式Come and take a look! This is how Chinese people greet each other

我们每个人都有自己的姓。姓是标志家族系统的称号，姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史传承。在中国古代很多部落根据自己的地理位置或者职业等，创造了自己的姓。姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史的传承。在日常生活中，为了表示尊敬，人们对于初识的人常常会问“您贵姓？”。一般人们都会回答“免贵姓.⋯⋯”。
Everyone has their own surname, which connects them to their ancestors and represents the continuation of the family lineage. In ancient China, surnames already came into existence. Many tribes created their own surnames according to their geographical locations or occupations. And thus their surnames became the carrier of traditional Chinese culture and history. In everyday life today, Chinese people also pay a lot of attention to surnames. For example, in order to show respect when meeting someone for the first time, people often say 您贵姓? (what's your honourable surname?). Usually people will respond with 免贵姓…… (My name is.., without nobility).

孙子说：一般用兵作战，要动用战车一千辆，辎重车一千辆，集结全副武装的士兵十万人，还要千里迢迢运送军粮。这样国内外的各种费用开支，招待使节、策士的费用，维修作战器械的胶、漆等材料费用，保养战车、甲胄的支出等，每天都要耗费巨大。做好了这些准备后，十万大军才能出动...

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. My name is Carl. Today I want to talk about breaking the ice. So breaking the ice means meeting someone new that you don't know for the first time. So when you go to a party or you go to a new workplace or a new school, you're always going to have the occasion where you need to meet people for the very first time.


And sometimes this can be awkward and you can feel embarrassed about talking to someone if you don't know them and they don't know you and you're not friends yet. So I just wanted to talk really briefly about some advice that I have for you to meet people for the first time in any environment. And this is especially true if you are not a native speaker of their language.


So the first tip I have is to simply smile. Make your face look friendly and welcoming and give eye contact to the person that you want to talk to. It sounds really simple and obvious, but if you missed this step um, you know, this is a very important step and this is half the battle. So make sure that you look approachable yourself and you smile And you might even make a slight hand gesture, like, uh, a mini wave of some sort.  And the next thing is to simply say hello.


You don't have to come up with any kind of clever saying or pick up line or joke just simply saying hello. And you can see if the other person is interested in having a conversation with you.


And another tip is that you can be observant of what the person looks like or what clothes they're wearing and use that as a clue um, to tell you about who they are. For example, if the person is wearing very nice running shoes you kind of have the idea that this person likes to run or this person may be a runner or if you notice that the person has, um, cauliflower ears, you know, scarred ears from wrestling OK, this guy is probably a fighter.
