你有没有遇到过这种情况:

和国外的朋友很长时间没见面了,他很开心得和你打招呼,说了一句:What’s new?

你的第一反应是不是在想,他是不是在问我最近有没有什么新鲜事,于是就回答道:Nothing is new.

然后气氛就一下子尴尬住了......

所以,What’s new到底是什么意思嘛,要怎么回答才比较好?

其实,这句话是外国人常用的打招呼习惯用语,类似于:

How are you?

What’s up?

How is everything going?

英文释义如下:A standard, casual greeting to someone used to politely (and sometimes superficially) inquire about what is happening in their life.

你也不用去苦思冥想最近有什么新鲜事,可以回答:

Alright.

I am well.

Good to see you.

例句

Hey Tom,what's new?

It's nice to see you again, Brenda. What's new with you these days?
