Welcome back to English with Sherry, the podcast where we make everyday English feel, well, actually every day.

欢迎回到 Sherry 的英语播客，在这里我们让日常英语变得，嗯，确实很日常。
Because today we are talking about something that honestly I think even people who've been studying English for years still find a little tricky.

因为今天我们要讨论的话题，老实说，我觉得即使是学了多年英语的人，也会觉得有点棘手。
Okay, so you know that moment when someone says, "How are you?

好的，你知道那种时刻吗？当有人问“你好吗？
" and you say, "Fine, thanks," and then just silence, both of you standing there, not really sure what comes next.

”而你回答“很好，谢谢”，然后就是一阵沉默，你们俩站在那里，不太确定接下来该说什么。
It's like you answer the question technically, but the conversation kind of just stops.

就像你从技术上回答了问题，但对话却戛然而止。
