How are you? 是询问近况的问候语，常用于认识的人之间，通常不期待对方讲一大段经历。回答一般简短而积极，例如 Fine, thanks、I'm good 或 Not bad，然后再问 And you? 它语气中性，可以对朋友或经理说，也可以放在友好邮件的开头。

How are you? → Fine, thanks. And you? / I'm good, thanks / Not bad; How are you doing? (informal); How are you feeling? (health)
- 'Hi, Ben, how are you?' 'Not bad, thanks. Just a bit tired after the flight.'
- Hi Sarah, how are you? I hope the new job is going well.
- 'How are you?' 'I'm good, thanks. And you?' 'Fine, thanks.'
修改原因
修改前'How are you?' 'Normal, thanks. And you?'
修改后'How are you?' 'Fine, thanks. And you?'
想简短地说近况还好，可能会想到 normal。但英语 normal 表示普通的、典型的，用来回答这句问候并不自然。通常说 Fine、OK 或 Not bad。
如果确实想了解健康状况，例如病后恢复情况，可以加 feeling：How are you feeling after the flu? 朋友之间也常说 How's it going? 或 How are you doing? 问的仍然是近况，只是语气更随意。
动手练习
At a party I saw Kate, my old friend from school, and asked, '___? Are you still working at the bank?'
查看答案
How are you — Kate 是以前的同学，你在询问她的近况，所以选 How are you。How do you do 用于正式初次介绍时的问候，不是与老朋友打招呼的说法。
写一段星期一早晨与同事的简短对话。对方问 How are you，你先回答，提一件周末做过的事，再问候对方。
'Hi, Olga! How are you?' 'Fine, thanks. I visited my parents at the weekend. How about you?'
