范例一：How are you doing? 你过得怎样？
Hi, Francis, morning! How are you doing today?
嘿，弗朗西斯，早上好！你今天过得怎样？
I had a bad start of the day. I was stuck in a bad traffic jam on my way and I missed my morning meeting.
今天我有一个糟糕的开始。我来的路上遇上交通堵塞了，而且我错过了今早的会议。
Indeed, I agree that is not a good start. How about the meeting? You missed anything important?
确实，我同意那不是一个好的开始。那会议怎样？你错过一些重要的东西吗？
It is ok. My boss briefs me later on.
还好。后来我老板简要给我介绍了一下。
Was he unhappy with you not attending the meeting?
你没有参加会议他不高兴吗？
Err, kind of. You know this traffic jam is really bad with so many new cars hitting the streets these days.
额，有点。你知道的，这些天如此多的新车上路，交通堵塞真的很严重。
