Greeting is an act of communication in which human beings intentionally make their presence known to each other to show attention to and to suggest a type of relationship (usually cordial) or social status (formal or informal) between individuals or groups of people coming in contact with each other.

今天小E给大家分享几个比较常用的见面问候语

1.How do you do？
初次见面的老外跟你说了句"How do you do" 估计多数人都会美滋滋地搬出学校教的那套，回敬一句"How do you do"。可英美人士却觉得你的回答有点买帽子当鞋穿--不对头。因为他们会觉得对话似乎没有得到回应，好像你并不高兴见到他一样。所以，当别人说"How do you do"的时候，你最好改答"Nice to meet you(第一次见面时使用）"或者"It's a pleasure to meet you"。

2. How are you?
关于How are you的回答
不同地区的：
很多人都把 I'm fine thank you and you 的回答来嘲笑国内的英语教育. 可是在英国很多本土英国人就是这样回答的。
但是国外很少有人问你How are you。一般都是How are you doing澳洲还有How are you going。据在澳洲生活的人的经验，当老外问How are u时，老外的回答是Good thank you。
美国人说 Good I'm fine I'm good I'm doing good I'm doing well 再加 Thank you! 或者 and you?
还有很多种回答方式 it depends on the situation.
Fine.
This is a simple straight answer. If you don't say anything else though it might be a signal that you don't want to continue the conversation.

Not bad.
This is a more friendly-sounding answer than "fine".

Fine thanks.
This answer is formal. You might answer this way if someone you don't know like a waiter at a restaurant asks how you are.

Very well thanks.
A person who likes to be grammatically proper might answer this way. Technically the question "How...?" should be answered with an adverb. However a lot of English speakers don't know or care about this. The people who do are "by the books" types who insist on using grammatically correct language.

Pretty good.
If you don't care as much about grammar you can answer "Good" or "Pretty good". It's more common and much much more casual.

Great! How are you doing?
This is an enthusiastic excited response. It's always good to ask a question back to the other person if you want to continue the conversation.

I'm hanging in there.
This answer makes it sound like you're having a tough day.

I've been better.
People usually give positive answers to the question "How are you?" If you give a negative answer like this one it usually means that you want to tell the listener your sad story. So they'll usually ask what's wrong:
A: How are you?
B: I've been better.
A: What's wrong?
B: I just found out that I'm being laid off.
（还有很多 ， 大家不要局限于这些）

3. What's up?（米国人很喜欢用，可以相当于What's new?或者是What's happening?）
This question means "What's happening in your life?" But you don't have to answer honestly. If you don't want to start a long conversation you can use one of these standard replies:

Nothing much/new.
This is the most common answer. You can follow it by sharing something interesting that's happening: "Nothing much. Just getting ready for Vanessa's graduation."

Not a lot.
This is another really common answer. It's just a bit fresher than "Nothing much" because it's a little less common.

Nothing.
This is more to-the-point. It might make you seem a little angry or rude.
Oh just the usual.
Answer this way if you do mostly the same things each day.

Just the same old same old.
This phrase means that you're doing the same things every day and you're a little bored of it.

Oh gosh all kinds of stuff!
You can answer this way if your life has been really busy and exciting lately.
