（双语文稿）Ways to Say Goodbye

It is never easy to say goodbye, but at least in English, we have many ways to do so. For my final Everyday Grammar, I want to share the many ways to say goodbye in English.
说再见从来都不容易，但至少在英语中，我们有很多方法说再见。在我的最后一篇《日常语法》中，我想和大家分享很多用英语说再见的方法。
There are polite or formal ways. There are also ways we can say goodbye in everyday conversation, including fun slang that you can use.
有礼貌和正式的方式。在日常对话中我们也可以用一些方式说再见，包括一些你可以使用的有趣俚语。
"Goodbye" is believed to have come from the expression, "God be with ye," about 500 years ago. "Ye" is an old form of "you." Over time "God" became "good." Today, the expression is for wishing someone well when you are leaving.
“Goodbye”被认为来自于500年前的“上帝与你同在”这句话，“Ye”是“you”的旧形式，随着时间的推移，“God”变成了“good”。今天，这个表达是用来在你离开的时候祝福某人。
"Goodbye" is probably the most common way to say this. Shorter forms include "bye" and "bye-bye." If you enjoy the 1990's pop band, NSYNC, you can say: "Bye Bye Bye!"
“Goodbye”可能是最常用的表达方式。较短的形式包括“bye”和“bye-bye”。如果你喜欢上世纪90年代的流行乐队超级男孩，你可能会说:“Bye Bye Bye!”
"It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
这可能听起来很疯狂，但这绝非谎言
Baby, bye bye bye"
In formal conversation
在正式谈话中
When you part with someone and you want to wish them a good time, you can use this general structure:
当你和他人分别时，你想祝他们过得愉快，你可以用这个一般结构:
Have + a + adjective + period of time:
Have + a +形容词+一段时间:
Have a good night!
祝你晚上愉快!
Have a wonderful weekend!
周末愉快!
Have a nice day.
祝你过得愉快。
"Have" is in the imperative form of the verb. The imperative form gives instructions, directions or commands. Imperative sentences use the base form of the verb.
Have是动词的祈使句形式。祈使句给出指示、指导或命令。祈使句使用动词的基本形式。
If parting ways with someone during the nighttime, we combine "good" with "night" to wish someone a "goodnight." We use this expression usually when going to sleep at night.
如果在晚上和他人分别，我们会把“good”和“night”结合起来祝某人“晚安”。我们通常在晚上睡觉的时候使用这个表达。
I always say "goodnight" to everyone in my house before bedtime.
睡觉前我总是对家里的每个人说“晚安”。
We use other command forms in formal settings to say "goodbye."
我们在正式场合用其他命令形式说“再见”。
"Take care (of yourself)" is meant to wish someone physical or emotional health.
“照顾好自己”意味着希望某人身体或精神健康。
If we have enjoyed our time with someone we can say:
如果我们和某人在一起很开心，我们可以说:
It was a pleasure speaking with you.
和你谈话很愉快。
It + form of "be" in present or past tense + article and noun or adjective + gerund + (with) you.
It + be的现在时或过去时形式+冠词和名词或形容词+动名词+ (with) you。
It was great seeing you this weekend.
很高兴这个周末见到你。
We can also say that we "look forward to" seeing or speaking with someone. This expression suggests hope for the future.
我们也可以说我们“期待”见到某人或与某人交谈，这个表达暗示着对未来的希望。
I look forward to our next meeting.
我期待着我们的下一次会面。
I look forward to seeing you then.
我期待到时见到你。
I look forward to speaking with you.
我期待着与你交谈。
Shorter forms of this expression include a sentence with "will."
这个表达的简短形式包括一个带有will的句子。
I will see you then.
到时候见。
See you then!
到时见!
Speak to you then!
到时再聊!
In everyday conversation
在日常会话中
When speaking with friends and family, you can use informal ways to communicate leaving.
当与朋友和家人交谈时，你可以用非正式的方式表达离开。
Shorter forms like "see you" are said even more conversationally when "you" becomes "ya" in fast speech. We can combine the expression with an adverb to say when we will see someone in the future. 
当“you”在快语速中变成“ya”时，像“see you”这样的较短形式更适合谈话。我们可以把这个表达和副词结合起来，表示我们将来什么时候会见到某人。
See you soon!
See ya' later.
See ya' around!
Catch you later.
Catch ya' later.
To express a similar meaning, we can use a prepositional phrase with "until." There is no subject or object. Just the preposition is used.
为了表达类似的意思，我们可以使用介词短语“until”，没有主语或宾语，只使用介词。
Until + time expression
Until + time表达式
Until then.
Until Tuesday!
Until next week!
If you need to leave quickly, you can use these expressions. "Gotta" is a contraction that is used in everyday speech.
如果你需要快速离开，你可以使用这些表达。“Gotta”是一个在日常用语中使用的缩略词。
I've got to go.
我得走了。
I've gotta go.
I'm heading off.
If you want someone to connect with you in the future, you can use these:
如果你想让某人在未来和你联系，你可以用这些:
Don't be a stranger.
Keep in touch!
If someone is leaving you on a trip, you can wish them a safe journey:
如果有人要离开你去旅行，你可以祝他们一路平安:
Have a safe trip!
Drive safely.
Drive safe!
Safe travels!
Note that in "drive safe," "safe" is, what is sometimes called, a "flat" adverb. These are older adverb forms in English that do not use the -ly ending. Phrases "sleep tight" or "go slow" are examples.
注意，在"drive safe"中，" safe"有时被称为无词尾变化副词，它们是英语中不使用-ly结尾的旧副词形式。短语“sleep tight”或“go slow”就是例子。
Another expression that uses a flat adverb is "take it easy."
另一个使用无词尾变化副词的表达是“take it easy”。
And lastly, if you must leave quickly, you can use the expression:
最后，如果你必须马上离开，你可以用这个表达:
I've got to hit the road.
I gotta hit the road.
We often use it when we are going to drive somewhere, but we can use it for other means of travel.
当我们开车去某个地方时，我们经常使用它，但我们可以在其他旅行方式中使用它。
Slang
俚语
Finally, we have a few slang words that are used very informally in speech, especially by some groups of people. Slang is often spoken by young people and is generational, meaning that each new generation has its own slang. Remember, using slang is very informal and not a good idea in groups of people who are of several different age groups.
最后，我们有一些在部分人群的口语中非正式使用的俚语。俚语通常是年轻人说的，而且每代不同，这意味着每一代人都有自己的俚语。记住，在不同年龄段的人群中使用俚语是非常不正式的，也不是一个好主意。
From the expression "see you later," we get the one-word slang expression "later." You can use this word by itself or with the person's name.
从“see you later”这个表达中，我们得到了一个词的俚语表达“later”。你可以单独使用这个词，也可以和这个人的名字连用。
Later!
Later, John!
We also have the expression:
我们还有这样的表达:
I'm out of here.
我要走了。
We can make this even more informal by shortening "out of" to "outta."
我们可以把“out of”缩写成“out”，使它更不正式。
I'm outta here.
我要走了。
One of my favorite expressions was often heard in 1990's and early 2000's hip hop music: "bounce."
我最喜欢的一个表达经常在20世纪90年代和21世纪初的嘻哈音乐中听到:“bounce”。
According to Urban Dictionary, to "bounce" means to leave and go somewhere else better or quickly.
根据《城市词典》，“bounce”的意思是离开，去其他更好的地方或更快地去那里。
A song by Destiny's Child, "Say My Name," uses this expression:
命运之子乐队的一首歌《Say My Name》使用了这个表达:
See you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago
You said you just got in the house
Final thoughts
最终的想法
In today's Everyday Grammar, we talked about different expressions we can use to say "goodbye." Many "goodbye" expressions in both formal and everyday language use the imperative form. We also looked at some fun slang words for "goodbye."
在今天的日常语法中，我们讨论了说“再见”的不同表达。在正式语言和日常语言中，许多“再见”的表达都使用祈使句。我们还学习了一些表示“再见”的有趣俚语。
I wanted to thank our audience for the past two years here at VOA Learning English. This might not be "goodbye," maybe it is just "see ya later!"
我想感谢过去两年来美国之音慢速英语的听众，这可能不是“goodbye”，也许只是“see ya later!”
Take care,
