How's it going? What's happening? How are things with you?
What's happening? 原意是[有什么事？]现已演变为[你好吗？]，是常用的招呼语。
这些问话可用Fine.Pretty good.Good.等来回答，表示[不错，还好，还可以]。如果要表示[非常好]，就用great.
注释
I'm just taking one day at a time. 我只是过一天是一天。
Yourself? 是How about yourself?的省略。
keep + 动名次，表示持续的状态。
So-so. 马马虎虎
in ages 很久
Not really 不见得；决不会！不会是真的吧！

a: It's pleasure to meet you.
b: The pleasure is all mine.
背景说明
Have you met sb? Do you know sb? 你认识某人吗？
这句话常被用来介绍双方认识。meet 的意思不是单纯的见面，而是彼此经过谈话，认识对方。 see则是看到，而不是交谈。因此I've seen him but we haven't met. 表示看过，但不认识。
如果你是被介绍的一方，介绍人可能会说......, this is my friend,....... 如果别人没有主动介绍你，你可以自我介绍说：My name is .... .
礼貌上，要表示很高兴认识对方，有几种说法：It's nice to meet you. I'm glad to meet you. I am pleased to meet you. I am pleased to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you.
注释
first name 名字（= given name）
last name 姓（=family name，surname）

over there 在那里
over here 在这里

背景说明
想邀请别人出去，首先一定要问对方有没有空，请记住一个简单的公式：[be动词+人+free+时间？]例如要问“你今晚有空吗？”，就说 Are you free tonight？
如果要问人有没有空做某事，则用另一个公式：[Do you have time to +所要做的事？]，例如：“你有没有空打网球？”， Do you have time to play tennis? 注意，time前面不可加冠词，如果说Do you have the time? 意思就变成“现在几点了？”，和what time is it？ 相同。

背景说明
有一次，一个中国人请美国朋友到家里吃饭。用餐前，这位美国朋友说：Where can I wash my hands? 当时他以中国人的习惯，亲切地拿出手巾给他。经过一阵尴尬后，美国朋友又说：May I use your bathroom,please? 这中国人才带他去洗手间。
此处的wash hands依中文的意思为‘洗手’，引申为想去洗手间。洗手间的表达方式很多。家里的洗手间为bathroom；学校，戏院等公共场所，则用rest room（化妆室）men' s room（男用化妆室），ladies' room（女用化妆室）。而toilet （厕所）是不文雅的说法，应尽量避免使用。最好的表示方法为：Where can I wash my hands?
此外，飞机上的化妆室是lavatory。而俚语中，问化妆室也可说：Where' s the john? 但这种说法只限于亲密朋友之间使用。
注释
information desk 服务台
rest room 洗手间
be located (in, at) 位于
elevator n. 电梯
right around the corner 就在转角处
I' m afraid ... 表示歉意的拒绝或传达坏消息时，意义等于 I' m sorry ......

背景说明
幽默作家马克吐温曾说过一句话："Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." 天气是人们最喜欢用的开场白， 不论陌生人或老友相见，都能用这不关紧要的话，来打破沉默。因此，what' s the weather like today? 今天天气如何？不可不会。
另外，要注意的一点，回答天气好，这个“好”字，只能用fine， 而不能用good，这是国人常犯的错误，应该避免。
