[背景说明]
无论在任何时候、任何地方，只要看见你喜欢的人，你都可以说这九句话。
1.Great to see you.
great (?ret) adj. 很棒的这句话是个省略句，源自：It's great to see you.字面的意思是「看到你很棒。」引申为「很高兴见到你。」可以加强语气说成：It's really great to see you. (真高兴见到你。)也可以加长为：It's really great to see you here. (在这里看到你真高兴。)或 It's so great to see you today. (今天看到你真高兴。)最热情的说法是：I can't tell you how great it is to see you. (我说不出来，我看到你有多高兴。)
可将Hey，My，Boy放在Great to see you.或It's great to see you. 的前面，成为：
Hey, it's great to see you. (嘿，很高兴见到你。)
My, it's great to see you. (哎呀，很高兴见到你。)
Boy, it's great to see you. (哇，很高兴见到你。)
hey (he) interj. 嘿 my (maI) interj. 哎呀boy (b?I) interj. 咦；哇
要常说Hey，My，Boy这类的感叹词，说起话来才像美国人，可参照本书p.208, 616, 和「一口气背成社交英语达人」p.449, 450, 462。
下面都是美国人常说的话，意思接近：
Great to see you.[及时常用]
