Re: [字辨] How's it goning 和 How's it coming

[togs (= =")]

※ 引述《noruas (〝猴子〞)》之銘言：
: come 有"來"的含義: 一件事情朝著你過來..它找上你
:                 How's it coming? => 問事情怎麼發生的

N大解釋的不錯

但關於How's it coming 這一點同推文的T大

補充別的想法給大家參考



=======1

"How's it going?" means you're asking for a status update of some kind. The
answer could be "I'm great!" or "We're half done with the project" depending
on the situation.

"How's it coming?" means "Is it done yet?" or "How close is it to being
done?"

以上資訊為 Astoria NY Franzi 在wordreference.com的解釋

=======2

It is a shortened version of "how is it coming along"

It's used to ask how a particular project is progressing.

Fred: "I started building a barn last week"
Ted: "Oh yah? How's it coming?"
Fred: "It's going alright. Should be finished in 3 or 4 months"

以上資訊為Lee 在外國Yahoo 的best answer

另外Sammy也作了以下的解釋

When someone asks you how is it coming they basically want to inquire about
what kind of progress you have made on a particular project, or event.
For eg. How is your history project coming?
Ans. Great! I'm almost finished!

========3

How's it coming? Don't mean to rush you.

Don't worry. It'll be finished.

以上為google上找到來自 Phantom of the Paradise script上的劇本

======


以上這幾個例子均表示同個概念

但How's it coming會不會因為上下文不同，而有其他解釋的可能

無法給絕對的答案

也請大家多指教

→ HVIP:像差不多？
→ tengharold:how's it going範圍比較廣，也可以當作一般問候語
→ tengharold:如老闆問how's it going可以問某案進度如何，或是純粹
→ tengharold:問工作如何
