Honestly, if we got stuck in the rut of "hi", "hello", "how are you?" and "what's going on?", you will fail to give the afraid to ask more personal questions.

坦白地说，如果我们还停留在说“嗨”、“你好”、“最近怎么样”和“发生了什么”这样的常规问候语中，你就不敢再问更多的私人问题了。

Hello John, how are you?

哈罗，约翰，你好吗？

《牛津词典》

Honestly, if we got stuck in the rut of "hi", "hello", "how are you?" and "what's going on?", you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that's can make it so memorable.

老实说，如果我们过度使用“嗨”、“你好”、“你好吗？”和“最近还好吗？”这些问候语，你将无法给谈话带来最初的激情，也就无法让谈话变得如此令人难忘。
