2. Nice to meet you. 与 Nice meeting you.
—How do you do? ______.
—How do you do? Welcome to our school.
A. Nice to meet you B. Nice meeting you
C. Nice to have met you D. Glad meeting you
此题应选A。注意以下各问候语的使用：
1. Nice to meet you. 主要用作初次见面的寒喧语, 注意相关(同义)说法：
Glad to meet you. (＝I’m glad to meet you. )
Pleased to meet you. (＝I’m pleased to meet you. )
Nice to meet you. (＝It’s nice to meet you. )
其大意相当于汉语的“认识你很高兴”。如：
—Hi, I’m Jim. 你好, 我叫吉姆。
—Hi, I’m John. Nice to meet you. 你好, 我叫约翰, 认识你很高兴。
2. Nice meeting you. 主要用于分手的场合, 也可说成：
Nice to have met you.
It is [was] nice to have met you.
I’m glad to have met you.
其大意为“认识你很高兴”。如：
—I must be off now. Nice meeting you. 我要走了, 认识你很高兴。
—Nice meeting you too. Bye-bye. 认识你我也很高兴, 再见。
3. 严格说来, Nice to meet you之类的用于见面的场合, 而Nice meeting you. 之类的用于分手的场合, 但在实际使用中, 人们有时也在分手时用Nice to meet you.
3. 这里为何用Congratulations来答
—I’ve never found a better job.
—______!
A. Take it easy B. Keep up your courage
C. Congratulations D. I’m sorry to hear it
此题应选 C。要做好此题首先要弄清两个问题：
1. 第一个问题：即要弄清第一句的准确含义, 此题其实是一个省略句, 补完整可以是：I’ve never found a betterjob than this one. 我从未找到一份比这个工作更好的工作(＝这是我所找到的最好的工作)。
值得一提的是：这类句子在各级考试中出现的机会很多, 比如我国近几年的高考英语试题中就经常出现这类句型：
a. He had never spent a _____ day.
A. more worry B. most worrying
C. more worrying D. most worried
b. How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _____.
A. the better voice B. a good voice
C. the best voice D. a better voice
答案：a. C b. D
2. 第二个问题：就是如何使用祝贺语。其实弄清了第一个问题, 这第二个问题就比较简单了。 既然一方说自己找到了一份最好的工作, 此时另一方对此表示祝贺也就是顺理成章的事了。又如：
—I have passed the driving test. 我通过了驾驶考试。
—Congratulations. 祝贺你。
