小蘇小姐2021-09-14 12:26:03關鍵在於搶在老外說How are you之前先說了，就能省不少煩惱！：）
Fine。 / Fine， thanks。
Not bad。 / Not too bad， yourself？
Very well， thanks。
Good。 / Pretty good。 / I’m pretty good。
Brilliant。 / Wonderful。
Can’t be better。
Great！ How are you doing？
How are you？
Hey， how’s it going？
So far so good。
Just so so。
I’ve been better。 （一般別人會接著問怎麼了）
悟空吊打水簾洞2021-09-14 12:49:09“Great， thank you。 How are you？” （very positive）
“Good， thanks， and you？” （positive – this is the most common answer）
“Fine， thanks。 How are you？” （a little less positive – I’m okay）
2.
“HI, BOSS, HOW ARE YOU?”
If you are in a business situation， you might be saying hello to your boss or colleague， or meeting someone for the first time。 You need to answer briefly， but in a positive way。 “Great！” “I’m doing really well， thank you，” or “Fantastic！” are all good ways to answer。 They will tell the other person that you are enthusiastic and ready to work。 You might be shaking hands， too。 Here’s how that conversation might go：
Mr。 Brown： Good morning， Mr。 Mendoza。 How are you today？
Mr。 Mendoza： I’m good， thanks。 And you？
Mr。 Brown： Great， great， thanks。 （shaking hands）
Two things to notice here：
The answer is short and positive， even if you have had a terrible day。
Many times， people will answer with the word “good。” Good is an adjective， and can describe you， so it’s okay to use with the verb “to be。” You can also say “I’m doing well。” Well is an adverb， and it describes how you are doing or feeling。

HOW TO ANSWER “HOW ARE YOU？” WHEN
MEETING STRANGERS AND OTHER FORMAL SITUATIONS
If you are talking to a waiter， a cashier at the checkout， or if you’re being introduced to a person in a casual situation， your answer can be a little different。 Let’s look at a sample：
Cashier （as she checks you out）： Hi， how are you today？
You： Fine， thanks。 It’s a beautiful day。
Some things to notice here：
“How are you？” is just a way of greeting someone in a polite way。
Don’t say anything personal。 For example， don’t tell the cashier that you are buying medicine because your child stayed home sick from school today。
4. HOW TO ANSWER “HOW ARE YOU?” WHEN HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS
IN CASUAL SITUATIONS
Your friends will probably ask you the very same question， but It might sound a little different！ You might hear：
How’ve you been？
How are you doing？
What’s up？
How’s it going？
Here’s the nice thing – when you are with friends and family， you can tell the truth！ If you are talking to people who care about you， you can tell them that you’ve had a bad day， or that you feel tired。
One thing you still shouldn’t do is answer with a complete description of some medical problems you are having。 If you are talking to a friend， you can offer more information if they ask （and if they are your friend， they probably will！） Here’s a conversation between friends：
Marta： Hi， John！ How are you？
John： I’m fine， maybe a little tired。 I need some more coffee。
Marta： Oh， I’m sorry。 Did you sleep well last night？
John： Not really。 I had a headache when I went to bed， and I still have it this morning。
A couple things to see：
The question is the same！ “How are you？” works for both formal and informal conversations。
The answer is more personal， but still doesn’t give much information。 If your friend wants more information， they will ask you。
SO, HOW ARE YOU?
Remember， “How are you？” is usually just another way to say hello。 If you smile and say “Good， thanks，” you’ve successfully answered the question。
And extra points if you also ask， “How are you？” in response！

致知語2021-09-14 14:45:44面對“How are you？”，回答“I am fine。”的人已經很少了，而且“I am fine。”會給人一種“我很好，不用你管”的高冷感覺。當然要是你討厭那個人可以直接說I’m fine，不想和他再多說一句了。
美國人面對How are you回答說的比較多的是以下5種：
1，Fine （美劇電影中說的比較多，比較簡潔）
2，Not bad 還行 （這個說最多，比較友好）
3，“Wonderful”，“great” “pretty good”回答給人積極的感覺
4， I‘m hanging in there。馬馬虎虎吧。
5，I’ve got the blues today。我今天很鬱悶。（心情很差，鬱悶時候說的比較多）
沈師兄2021-09-28 23:52:56Good！
完事兒。
Asakusa Xi2021-10-07 15:06:18在加拿大的標準回答就是good，how are you？
