   自小学起,我们就学习了Miss, Mr, Mrs这些称呼他人的方式,但是很多人会发现,在现实的语境中,称呼他人并不是一件易事。称呼往往会体现一个人的职业,地位,社会关系,婚姻状况等等,随着环境和场合的变化,称呼也有可能随着变化。因此,固守规律有时并非完全正确。今天,小编给英文中的称呼问题给大家做一个梳理。


  实用口语:学了这么多年英语 你确定会称呼他人?
  首先,看一下初级的,回顾一下各种简称的意思吧:
  for Mr we say "Mister" 先生
  for Mrs we say "Misses" 女士(已婚)
  for Miss we say "Miss" 女士(未婚)
  for Ms we say "Mizz" 女士(不明婚姻状况)
  注释:Ms的发音大家一定要和其他的区分开,以免出现尴尬情况哦。

  在英语国家,女性婚后随夫姓是一种惯例。当然了,也不是所有人都这么做,如果一位女性刚刚结婚,你可以问一句:
  "Are you going by the same name?"
  离婚的女性一般会改回自己原来的姓,也就是我们常说的娘家姓(maiden name)
  而丈夫逝世的女性一般会保留丈夫的姓氏,除非有再婚的情况。
  如果你对一个人不了解,那么最好用正规的称呼,或者询问对方:
  What should I call you?
  What should I call your mum / the teacher / the manager?
  Can I call you (+ first name) ?
  Is it okay if I call you (+ the nickname you've heard others use) ?
  What's your name? (use in a casual situation like a party or classroom where first names are used)
  注释:怎么称呼您中的“怎么”不要想当然的说成How。
  那么,但别人询问你时,该怎么回答呢?
  Please, call me (+ first name)
  You can call me (+ nickname or short form)
  在一些正式场合,比如商务会议中,除非别人提出如何称呼他,一般用正式称呼,比如想要提醒对方,表示强调时可以说: "Excuse me, Sir" 或 "Pardon me, Madam/Ma'am."。
  文化Tips: 在一些英美剧中,大家可能会看到一些正式称呼用于日常对话的例子。Native speakers有时会把"Yes, Sir!" (or "Yes, Madam/Ma'am!") 用于开玩笑或者夸张,讽刺,幽默的场合,以加强语气。比如,当一个小女该要求买一些不实用的东西时,她的母亲有可能说"No Madam/Ma'am",在加强语气的同时不显得生硬。

  下面,我们来汇总一下这些正式称呼吧:
  Sir (adult male of any age)
  Ma'am (adult female - North American)
  Madam (adult female)
  Mr + last name (any man)
  Mrs + last name (married woman who uses her husband's last name)
  Ms + last name (married or unmarried woman; common in business)
  Miss + last name (unmarried woman)
  Dr + last name (some doctors go by Dr + first name)
  Professor + last name (in a university setting)
  注释:在英语中,一般不把某某老师说成是Teacher XXX,而是同样根据具体情况称呼为先生,女士。Teacher一词一般不会单独用来称呼,在中国课堂上会出现的“Good morning, teacher”其实并不是很常见的表达。
  当然,在关系很好的情况下,你也会用非正式称呼一些重要人物。虽然大多数人称呼他们为Sir/Madam, 你也可以直接称呼其first name(Jack, Lily这种)。可见,称名还是称姓一定程度上可以反映关系的远近。因此在英语中"on a first name basis" or "on first name terms"这两个词组可以用来形容那些本该有一定距离,却很友好的关系。比如:
  My teacher and I are on first name terms.
  我和我的老师关系很好,我们一般都直接叫对方名字。
  像这种较近的关系我们一般称呼
  First name (friends, students, children)
  Miss/Mr + first name (sometimes used by dance or music teachers or childcare workers)

  而关系不太好的情况下,就会直接称呼姓氏了,这是一种不太礼貌的称呼,像上面这样。
  当然,还有一些固定的称呼方式是不需要加姓氏的,在朋友,亲人,伴侣等关系中,常使用以下称呼:
  Honey (child, romantic partner, or younger person)
  Dear
  Sweetie
  Love
  Darling
  Babe or Baby (romantic partner)
  Pal 1 (father or grandfather calls male child)
  Buddy 2 or Bud (very informal between friends or adult-to-child; can be seen as negative)
  大概就这么多了。其实没有一成不变的规则,具体的称呼方式还是要依据具体的情况。这些原汁原味的口语表达,希望大家在学习运用的过程中不断改进,口语越来越地道。

n.朋友,伙伴,同志;vi.结为友
  • He is a pal of mine.他是我的一个朋友。
  • Listen,pal,I don't want you talking to my sister any more.听着,小子,我不让你再和我妹妹说话了。
n.(美口)密友,伙伴
  • Calm down,buddy.What's the trouble?压压气,老兄。有什么麻烦吗?
  • Get out of my way,buddy!别挡道了,你这家伙!
