澳洲G'day mate!

在澳大利亚英语学习




If you don't know what "G'day" or "mate" mean then it's time to learn it now!

G'day is the short hand for "Good day". It's used as a greeting. Just like hello. As you might have guessed, G'day is for saying hello during the day.

Mateship is a very important part of the Australian culture. A mate is a good friend, like a brother. As in "Bulaohu is a mate of Gandu's." Generally "mate" is used to address male only. But occasionally you hear people addressing female as "mate". They are likely to be lesbians...

So "G'day mate!" means "兄弟你好!"。

Sometimes when you can't recall who you are greeting, just say "G'day mate!".

别人说G'day的时候,怎么回应比较自然?也说G'day?

评论


我听到从女的口中蹦出mate的,基本上都是那种harley-davidson狂热族~~

评论

Yes, just say G'day back.

评论

yes, or u can add" how are u"

评论
一般人说how r u的时候比较少,好像平时都是how r u going(doing)...什么的。

评论


是 how is going? 或者 how are you doing?

评论
我们当年还学的 how do you do, 怎么从来没听外国人说过?

评论
How do you do is so British. No one say that here.

评论
其实英语很灵活,实际场合中有不同发挥。。
象表达好的时候,Amazing! Awesome! magnificent!Fantastic! shit hot! beautiful , stupendous , exerlent  ....   etc.
just choose one u like, that's it......all are right

评论
这个“mate”,Aussie是如何发音的呢?
听上去像:m-i: ( t 这个音听不见)?

评论


说起这个又有一个笑话。
以前美国人来澳洲发现全澳洲的男人都叫Michael。为什么呢?因为大家见了面都是"G'day My"。当然不可能是叫My的了,可能是Mike吧?后来找了一个澳洲朋友问了才知道原来是mate。

这个mate的后面那个t发音很短很轻。

评论
G'day mate! 听着 象[gud mei]

评论
Very handy. It’s one of the words I use the most every day as I couldn't recall all the people’s name on site, and it's even better if you could say it in a very lazy way.

评论


很有意思,曾看过一个DVD专门讲澳洲口音的由来,讲Good day要说的很懒,而且多用鼻音,尽量少张嘴,因为澳洲很热,苍蝇很多,嘴张得太大,苍蝇会飞进去,久而久之就形成了绵羊味的澳洲英语。

评论
如果是很久不见得老朋友,想和他多聊一下, 澳洲人喜欢用:how is life treating you? 我每次听到这个,就觉得自己要交待好多问题

评论
刚才和aussie徒弟聊了一会,他在New Zealand待过几年,结果他告诉我一些有趣的:
他说kiwi同样的话,他们说,G'day,bro.
如果是Aboriginal说的话,就变成了G'day, bra.

评论
I am so scared they keep asking me “how was your weekend” “you had a nice weekend” each Monday morning so I always take the priority to raise the question first.

btw, in email my Aussie colleagues always using ARVO instead of afternoon, say “Good arvo”, “I will be seeing you in arvo”. I thought it was a short hand for “afternoon”, however ARVO still can be looked up in dictionary.

评论
arvo = afternoon

When people ask you "how's your weekend?". If you don't want to go into details, just reply "not bad" or "pretty good".

评论


hey, how is it hanging, buddy?

评论
问个问题:如果对方看到你,问好,说how is going?一般应该怎么回答比较合适?

评论
Very good. Thank you.
or
Good. How about yourself?

评论
good thanks, youself?

评论
how's everything going?/how have you been doing?/what's happening?.....they are all pretty much the same.

this reminds me how Joe (the one from Friends) says How are you doing?!

评论


这个只能MM和MM说了吧!

评论
What's up?/ What's new?

评论
Normally when people ask you "how are you", "how is it going" or "how's your weekend" etc is just being polite, not necessary wants to hear your life story...
