How Do People in the West Greet Someone They Know?

李海

In China， people also often greet each other by asking “Where are you going？” But if you said this to an English-speaking person， especially someone you do not know very well， he or she might think you are rather “nosy （好管閑事的）”， that “It's none of your business.”

Then just how do they greet each other？ Well， the most common way is to ask about the other person's health or comment（評論） on the weather.
