It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But“How are you?” is also an unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks“How are you?”expects to hear the answer“Fine”, even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “ How are you?” isn'treally a question and “Fine” isn't really an answer. They are common ways of saying“He llo”or“H i”.Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean.For example, when someone asks "Do you agree? "the otherperson may be thinking,"No, I don't. I think you arewrong.”It isn't polite to disagree very strongly, then hemight say,"I am not so sure. "This is a nicer way to say thatyou don’t agree with so meone.People also don't say exactly what they are thinkingwhen they finish talking to other people. For example, manyconversations over the phone end when one person says, I've got to go now.” or the person who wants to hang upwill give an excuse, such as "Someone is at the door. "or“ Something is burning on the stove(火炉).” The excuse may be real, or not. The person who wants to hang upsimply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite tosay so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn't hurt the otherperson's feelings.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about anopinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t sayexactly what they are thinking. It's an important way thatpeople try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the gameof language.24.
