　　Slang English Greetings

　　俚语打招呼

　　Slang greetings are extremely informal, and should only be used with people that you know very well, and feel very comfortable with. Keep in mind that a lot of slang is regional, and using Australian slang, for example, in America can sound quite strange. You’ll need to learn the local slang wherever you are, but these common examples will help you get started.

　　俚语问候是非常不正式的，且仅用在非常熟悉得人之间。很多俚语是区域化的，就像方言一样。在美国用澳大利亚的俚语听起来就很奇怪。大家今后会在不同地方学到不同的俚语，可以从以下这些最常见的开始：

　　12. Yo!

　　This extremely informal greeting is common in America. It comes from 1990’s hip-hop slang and these days it’s often used jokingly. This greeting should only be used with very close friends, and never in a business setting.

　　这种很不正式的打招呼在美国比较常见。来源自90年代hip-hop音乐，那段时间也常用它来开开玩笑。这种方式只适用于非常亲密的朋友之间，不能用于正式场合。

　　13. Are you OK?, You alright?, or Alright mate?

　　This casual way of asking both “hello” and “how are you” is common in Britain. You can respond “yeah, fine”, or simply “alright”.

　　英国人常用的非正式问候，可以回答“yeah, fine”, 或是一句简单的 “alright”

　　14. Howdy!

　　This is a very informal abbreviation of “how do you do?” that is common in certain parts of Canada and the U.S. Keep in mind that if you say “howdy” outside of these regions, you will sound like a cowboy, and it might make the other person laugh.

　　“how do you do?”的非正式缩写，在美国和加拿大部分地区较为常见，算是方言。如果你在这以外的地区说了这句话，听起来就很莽撞，会让人发笑，所以慎用。

　　15. Sup? or Whazzup?

　　These greetings are abbreviations of “what’s up?” which are common among teenagers. Like with “what’s up?” you can answer “nothing” or “not much”.

　　Sup和Whazzup都是“what’s up”的缩略表达，年轻人中很常用，可以用“nothing” 和 “not much”来回答。

　　16. G’day mate!

　　This casual greeting is an Australian abbreviation of “good day”. Keep in mind that Australian greetings often use “ya” instead of “you”. So “how are ya?” is the same as “how are you?”, and “how are ya going?” is basically the same as “how’s it going?” or “how are you doing?”

　　澳大利亚最常用的非正式打招呼用语，是“good day”的缩略表达。澳大利亚人打招呼时经常会用 “ya” 来替代 “you”，他们会把“how are you?”说成“how are ya?”;把“how are you doing?”说成“how are ya going?”

　　17. Hiya!

　　This greeting, short for “how are you?”, is commonly used in certain parts of England. However, you don’t need to actually answer this question – you can just say “hey!” right back.

　　在英格兰的一些地区，人们会用Hiya来替代“how are you?”。如果有人这样和你打招呼，不用具体去回答什么，说一句“hey!”来回应就好。

　　I hope you enjoy trying out these new English greetings. You’ll find that greeting people in different ways will help your English sound more natural, and it might even make English greetings more fun and interesting for you.
