二、每课一句

How are you today?

该句型主要用来询问对方近况如何，作为被问方其实是不需要实际的回答的，只是出于礼貌，一般都会做如下回复：

• I'm very well, thank you. How are you? (正式用语)

• I'm fine, thank you.

• Fine, thanks. (非正式用语)

• Fine, and you? (非正式用语)

除了“How are you?”之外，常见的同义表达方式还有：

• How do you do? (正式用语)

• How are you doing? (正式用语)

• How are you all keeping? (正式用语)

• How's it going? / How's tricks? / What's up? (非正式用语)

• How's it hanging? (俚语)

三、更多拓展

How's Emma?

当要询问第三方的近况如何时，则采用以下句型：

How is / are sb. (第三方)?

如：

- How's Tom?

- He's fine, thank you.

再比如：

- How are your brothers?

- They're very well, thank you.
