20."How are you?"is a nice question.It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other.But"How are you?"is also a very unusual question.It's a question that often doesn't need an answer.The person who asks"How are you?"hopes to hear the answer"Fine",even if the person's friend isn't fine.The reason is that"How are you?"isn't really a question and"Fine"isn't really an answer.They are simply othe ways of saying"Hello"or"Hi".Sometimes,people also don't say exactly what they mean.For example,when someone asks"Do you agree?"the other person might think,"No,I disagree.I think you're wrong…"But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly,so the other person might say"I'm not sure."It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person says"I have to go now."Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse:"Someone's at the door.""Something is burning on the stove."The excuses might be real,or not.Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more,but it isn't polite to say that.The excuse is more polite,and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,or finishing a talk,people don't say exactly what they are thinking.It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it's part of the game of language.

分析 "你怎么样",这是个不错的问题,这是美国人民友好的问候方式,但"你怎么样",也是一个很不寻常的问题,这是一个不需要回答的问题,问"你好吗?"的人希望听到答案"很好",即使对方的朋友不太好,原因是"你怎么样"其实并不是一个问题,"好"也并不是答案,他们只是简单的表达"你好"或"你好"的方式.
有时,人们也没有确切地说出他们的意思,例如,当有人问"你同意吗?"另一个人可能会想,"不,我不同意.我认为你错了…"但如此强烈地不同意不是很礼貌的,所以另一个人可能会说"我不知道".这是一个说你不同意某人的更好的办法.
人们在结束与他人交谈时,也不会说出自己确切地在想什么.例如,当一个人说"我要走了"的时候,很多的电话聊天结束了.通常,那些想挂断电话的人会给出一个借口:"有人在门口","炉子上有东西在燃烧",借口可能是真实的,或者不是.也许那个想挂电话的人不想再说话了,但这样说是不礼貌的,因为借口更礼貌,也不会伤害到对方.
不管他们是互相问候,谈论一个想法,还是结束一个谈话,人们都不确切地说出他们在想什么,这是人们互相友好相处的重要方式,也是语言游戏的一部分.
