Welcome back to MJ English.

歡迎回到 MJ English。

Today we're going to be taking a deep dive into something that I think a lot of English learners kind of get tripped up on. Um, you know, how to properly greet people in English in different situations.

今天我們要深入探討一個很多英語學習者常常搞混的主題，那就是在不同情況下如何正確地用英文打招呼。

Yeah.

沒錯。

You know, like meeting someone for the first time or seeing someone you've met before, right?

像是第一次見人，或是再度遇到某人這種情況，對吧？

It can be a little confusing.

這真的有點令人混淆。

It can be.

沒錯。

So, we're going to clear all that up for you guys today. And then we're also going to be talking about a very common mistake that learners make when responding to the phrase, "Nice to meet you."

所以我們今天要幫大家把這些都釐清。然後我們也會聊聊當有人對你說「Nice to meet you」時，學習者最常犯的一個錯誤。

Yeah. I think this will be a really simple guide that people can use to feel a little bit more confident when they're speaking English.

對啊，我覺得這會是一個很簡單好懂的指南，幫助大家在說英文時更有自信。

For sure.

當然。

You know, just getting these little things right can make a big difference.

你知道的，把這些小地方用對了，真的差很多。

Absolutely. So, let's jump right into it. Okay, so we have nice to meet you. When do we use this phrase?

沒錯！那我們就馬上開始吧。首先是 "Nice to meet you"。這句話什麼時候可以用呢？

Well, nice to meet you is something we say when we're meeting someone for the very first time.

"Nice to meet you" 是用在第一次見到某個人的時候。

Okay, so you can think of it literally like I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, right? For the first time, right?

可以把它理解成「很高興第一次認識你」這樣的意思，對吧？

Um so, for example, if someone says, "Hi, I'm David." You can say, "Hi, David. Nice to meet you." As simple as that.

例如有人說：「Hi, I'm David.」你就可以回他：「Hi, David. Nice to meet you.」就這麼簡單。

Perfect.

完美的用法。

Just like making a new friend.

就像是在交新朋友一樣。

Exactly. Yeah. Now, what gets interesting is what happens next time you see David?

沒錯。那接下來有趣的地方是，如果你下一次又遇到 David，要怎麼說？

Exactly.

沒錯。

Right. What if you see David again the next day and you say, "Nice to meet you."

對啊，那如果你隔天又看到 David，然後又說一次 "Nice to meet you" 呢？

Yeah. It's kind of strange.

那會聽起來有點怪怪的。

It's a little strange, isn't it?

真的有點奇怪，對吧？

Yeah. Like, have we not met before?

對啊，就像在說「欸我們不是已經見過了嗎？」

It can almost make the other person feel like you've forgotten them, right? Which is not very polite.

對對方來說，會覺得你好像不記得他了，這樣感覺就不太禮貌。

Not the best.

不是個好印象。

Wait, don't they remember me?

會讓人想說「欸你忘了我嗎？」

Yeah, exactly.

完全正解。

So, what are some other phrases that we can use to greet someone the second, third, or any subsequent time that we meet them.

那我們還可以用哪些句子來打招呼呢？當你第二次、第三次，或之後再遇到某人時。

Well, there are a lot of great options.

這方面其實有很多不錯的選擇。

Okay, one is nice to see you again.

像是 "Nice to see you again." 很好用。

Okay, you could also say good to see you.

你也可以說 "Good to see you."

Okay, um if you want to be a little more enthusiastic, you can say, "Hey, David, it's great to see you again."

如果你想熱情一點，也可以說 "Hey David, it's great to see you again!"

Right! So, all of these phrases show that you remember meeting them before, right? It's like, "We've met before and I remember you."

對，這些句子都有個共通點，就是表示「我記得我們見過囉～」

Exactly.

沒錯！

Now, what happens if you see someone and you're really not sure if you've met them before?

那如果你遇到一個人，但你不確定之前有沒有見過他呢？

Yeah. Maybe you recognize them, but you just can't put your finger on it. This happens all the time, right? What do we do then?

對啊，你可能覺得他有點眼熟，但又說不上來。這種情況很常發生，那該怎麼辦？

Well, in those situations, it's always best to just go with the simple and safe greeting, okay?

這時候最保險的方式就是用簡單又萬用的打招呼方式。

Like, hi, hello.

就說 "Hi" 或是 "Hello"。

Um, you can also say, "How are you?" or "How's it going?"

你也可以說 "How are you?" 或 "How's it going?"。

Um, these greetings are useful because they don't assume that you've met before, right? So, you don't have to worry about any awkwardness.

這些問候語的好處是，不會預設你們見過面，就不會讓場面尷尬。

Okay, perfect. Now, let's talk about how to respond to nice to meet you, okay? Because I know that there's a common mistake that learners make.

太棒了，那我們來講講當別人對你說 "Nice to meet you" 時，你該怎麼回？我知道有個常見錯誤很多人會犯。

Yeah. And what is that?

對，哪個錯誤呢？

It's saying "me too".

就是說 "Me too."

Ah, which I think comes from directly translating from Chinese.

啊～這個應該是從中文直接翻過來的錯誤。

Oh, I see. But yeah, it's not really the natural way to respond in English.

我懂了，但在英文裡，這樣回答真的不自然。

So, what are some correct ways to respond to nice to meet you?

那正確的回答方式有哪些？

Well, you can simply say you too.

你可以簡單回一句 "You too."

Okay, that's very common and natural.

這句既常見又自然。

Or you can say nice to meet you too.

你也可以完整說 "Nice to meet you too."

Okay, you can also say likewise.

還可以說 "Likewise."（意思是一樣，我也很高興認識你）

Ah, which is a little more formal and concise.

這句比較正式，也比較簡潔。

And then another option is I look forward to seeing you again.

另外一個選項是 "I look forward to seeing you again." 也不錯。

Oh, that's a nice one, too. A little more polite.

這句聽起來也很得體，有點更有禮貌的感覺。

Yeah. So, just to recap really quickly, when meeting someone for the first time, we use nice to meet you.

好，快速總結一下：第一次見面就說 "Nice to meet you."

Right.

對。

After that first meeting, we say nice to see you again or something along those lines.

之後再見面可以說 "Nice to see you again" 或類似的句子。

Yep.

沒錯。

If you're not sure if you've met someone before, just stick with hi or hello.

如果你不確定對方是不是之前見過，就說 "Hi" 或 "Hello"。

Exactly.

沒錯！

And when someone says nice to meet you to you, some appropriate responses are You too. Nice to meet you too. Or likewise.

當別人對你說 "Nice to meet you"，你可以回 "You too."、"Nice to meet you too." 或 "Likewise."

All good options.

這些都是不錯的選擇。

And remember, don't say me too.

記住，千萬不要說 "Me too."

Don't say me too.

真的不要說 "Me too"！

Right. So, yeah, just these simple rules can really help you navigate those, you know, tricky social situations in English.

對，這些簡單的規則就能幫你應付許多英文社交場合的小陷阱。

For sure. And it shows that you're really paying attention to these, you know, small but important parts of the language.

沒錯，而且也代表你有在注意這些細節——雖然小但很重要的語言部分。

Exactly. And it shows that you're learning. So, pay attention to these things, guys.

沒錯，這也表示你真的在學習！大家一定要記得注意這些細節喔！
