Dialogue 16 打招呼
date:2010-09-06
简: 为什么中国人见面总爱说“吃饭了吗”？
Why do Chinese people always say "did you eat?" when meeting someone?
李明: 是不是还会问“你去哪儿了”？
They will also ask "where have you been", right?
简: 对啊，他们怎么那么注意别人干什么啊？
Yes. Why are they paying so much attention to other people's actions?
李明: 你千万别误会，这不是要干涉别人的私事，而是中国人打招呼的一种方式。
Please don't take this the wrong way. They don't want to interfere in other people's privacy. It's just a Chinese way of saying hello.
简: 原来是这样啊，看来每个民族都有自己的习惯，还真得好好儿学一学呢。
Oh, I got it. Every nation has its own customs. I need to learn these.
