碰到臉熟的同事，你會(huì)主動(dòng)打招呼嗎？如果會(huì)，那么對(duì)方就在你的hello list--“打招呼列表”上。當(dāng)然，這個(gè)列表也是不斷變化的。如果這個(gè)人從來(lái)不主動(dòng)和你打招呼，那么下次你的“打招呼列表”中也將不再有他。

Hello list refers to the list of people you have to or want to say "hello" to on a daily basis, especially relevant for students in university buildings, or coworkers in a workplace. Some people might decide to put you on their hello lists, even if they aren't on yours. Typically, reciprocity is expected.

“打招呼列表”指的是你平日里碰見時(shí)必須或想打招呼的人，那些經(jīng)常穿梭于教學(xué)大樓的學(xué)生，或單位里的職員，都會(huì)有這樣一張“打招呼列表”。某些人也許會(huì)把你放在他們的“打招呼列表”里，盡管他們并不在你的列表上（意思是他們會(huì)主動(dòng)和你打招呼，而你不會(huì)）。不過，通常他們也期待你以后會(huì)主動(dòng)和他們打招呼。

Example:

Dropping someone from your hello list to just a nod when you pass him or her might be considered a snub by the other person.

把某人從“打招呼列表”里移除，碰到時(shí)只是點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭，可能會(huì)被對(duì)方視作怠慢。
