Hi, Jack!（嗨！杰克！）

Tony认为在飞机上不能随便跟Jack打招呼，这是为什么呢？

Tony: Tina, what would you say when you meet your old friend Jack on a plane?
Tina: Hi, Jack!
Tony: Hold on! It sounds like “hijack”, like hijack a plane. You might scare off those people on the plane.
Tina: You are kidding, right? I guess you can say things like “Hello, Jack!” or “Good to see you here, Jack!”
Tony: Yeah, but I still think “Hi, Jack” would be the first choice of most people.
Tina: You are right. With old friends, it’s unlikely for people to use formal greetings such as “I am pleased to meet you, Jack.”

中文翻译

Tony：Tina，你要是在飞机上见到你的老朋友Jack的时候，你和他打招呼会说什么？
Tina：嗨，Jack！
Tony：慢着！这个听起来可是象“hijack”，象是要劫持飞机似的。你可能会吓坏飞机上的乘客的。
Tina：你开玩笑吧？我想你也可以说成是“Hello,Jack！”或者“Good to see you here,Jack!”
Tony：是的，不过我还是觉得“Hi,Jack!”是很多人的第一选择。
Tina：没错。和老朋友见面，人们不太会使用正规的话，比如“I am pleased to meet you,Jack.”。
