  How to say hello in Japanese depends on when you say it.This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night.In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting.We seldom greet them with “good morning” or “Good evening”.A “Hi” is enough.

  Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese.Perhaps it is not the most suitable work for it.Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon”, and I am sure you wouldn't like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.

  So what to do? Let's do it the way the Japanese do.Use “Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konnichiwa” when it's noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon.Things differ when you are on the phone.Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good afternoon or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone.It is invariably the sweet old “Hello”.

  Next time, I'll tell something about my life in Japan.

Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment.
Have Your Heart in Your Mouth
This expression means that you're really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping(怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you "have your heart in your mouth."
Have Butterflies in the Stomach
How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren't butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision.
These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better.    
Sick as a Dog
If you've ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it's all right to describe someone who's not feeling well as being "sick as a dog".    
Under the Weather
When it's rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person's health and mood(心情).
【小题1】 The expression "__" is most probably used while you are watching a thriller.
A. have your heart in your mouth    B. sick as a dog    C. under the weather
【小题2】Someone believes__ if you "have butterflies in the stomach" before a test.
