有什么可以為您效勞?

What can I do for you today?

How may I help you?

May I help you?

Can I be of any help?

Can I be at your service?

您是做什么工作的？

What do you do?

What do you do for a living?

A: Hey! Gina. How are things?

嘿，吉娜，最近如何？

B: Great. Mr Jones. What can I do for you today?

我很好，瓊斯先生，有什么需要為您效勞的嗎？

A: I'm preparing for my first meet-and-greet tomorrow morning. Can you give me any advice?

我正在準備明天早上第一次的見面會，你可以給我什么建議嗎？

B: Sure. First, as a famous writer, it's important that you greet people properly. If you're speaking to a businessman, I suggest saying, "Good morning, I'm Brendon Jones. How do you do?"

當然可以，首先身為一位著名的作家，以正確的方式跟大家問候是很重要的。假設(shè)您在和一位商業(yè)人士說話，我建議您說：“早上好，我是布蘭登瓊斯，你好嗎？”

A: And what do I say to a teenager?

那我該怎么跟年輕人說話呢？

B: keep it casual. Something like: "Morning, what's happening?"

保持隨性一點，說像“早上好，有什么新鮮事嗎“之類的話。

A: Shouldn't I say: "what's up?"

我該說“嘿，怎么了嗎？”

B: No! Definitely not, that's too casual. Only teenage friends would say that.

不，萬萬不可。那樣又太隨意了，只有年輕朋友之間才會這樣說。

A: And what about someone I have met before? Should I say: "I haven't seen you in years?"

那如果遇到舊時呢，我該說“我好幾年沒有見到你了“嗎？

B: It's better to say: "what a pleasant surprise seeing you here".

說“在這里遇見你，真是個令人愉快的驚喜”比較好。
