| 释义 | Introducing yourself and other people ◊ introducing yourself When you meet someone for the first time, and they do not already know who you are, you can introduce yourself by saying who you are. You may need to say 'Hello' or make a remark first. 'I'm Helmut,' said the boy. 'I'm Edmond Dorf,' I said. Come with me, sir. I'm the captain. 'I don't think we've met, have we? Are you visiting here?' ---'Yes. I'm Philip Swallow.' I had better introduce myself. I am Colonel Marc Rodin. May I introduce myself? The Reverend John Hunt. You must be the Kirks. My name's Macintosh. In formal situations, people sometimes say 'How do you do?' when introducing themselves. I'm Nigel Jessop. How do you do? ◊ introducing other people If you are introducing people who have not met each other before, you say 'This is...'. You introduce each person, unless you have already told one of them who they are going to meet. 'This is Bernadette, Mr Zapp,' said O'Shea. You use an appropriate form of each person's name, depending on how formal the occasion is. See entry at ↑ Note that 'these' is rarely used, although you might say, for example, 'These are my children'. When you are introducing a couple, you can use 'this' once instead of repeating it. This is Mr Dixon and Miss Peel. You can just say the name of the person or people you are introducing, indicating with your hand which one you mean. ◊ more formal introductions If you need to be more formal, you first say something like 'May I introduce my brother', 'Let me introduce you to my brother', or 'I'd like to introduce my brother'. By the way, may I introduce my wife? Karin -- Mrs Stannard, an old friend. Let me introduce everybody to everybody. My brother, Rudolph; my sister, Gretchen; my wife, Teresa; my manager, Mr Schultz. Bill, I'd like to introduce Charlie Citrine. You can also say 'I'd like you to meet...'.

'I don't think you know Colonel Daintry.' ---'No. I don't think we've met. How do you do?' If you are not quite sure whether an introduction is necessary, you can say something like 'Have you met...?' or 'Do you two know each other?' 'Do you know my husband, Ken?' ---'Hello. I don't think I do.' If you are fairly sure that the people have met each other before, you say something like 'You know John, don't you?' or 'You've met John, haven't you?' Hello, come in. You've met Paul. ◊ responding to an introduction When you have been introduced to someone, you both say 'Hello'. If you are both young and in an informal situation, you can say 'Hi'.
