去哪里happy?
William: Whadja do last night?
Hogan: I went bowling
William: How many strikes did you get?
Hogan: I don’t know! Saw some beautiful women, though.

休息了一个周末，上班时遇到了你的外国朋友，他们会问你：whadja do last night?你昨天晚上做什么来着？你可以说：I went out and had fun with my friends.我昨晚和朋友出去玩了。另外当你和老外交谈的时候，是不是总觉得他们说话不清楚呢？实际上这是因为他们把很多词都连读了，比方说：whadja do last night?实际上是：what did you do last night? 这里的whadja就是what did you的意思。

William: I went to a party last night.
Hogan: Didja have a good time?
William: Nah, Jack Daniel wasn’t there.

Jack Daniel is a common brand of Whisky in the US. Jack Daniel 是美国的一种名牌威士忌酒
老友外出度假，回来后，见面的第一句话你应该说：Didja have a good time? 你玩的好吗？Didja 也是一种非常随意的表达方法，意思是Did you。 当然在正式场合，比如在和你的老板交谈或者在做演讲的时候，你最好吐字清楚的说：Did you，如果假期愉快，对方可能会说：Sure. Did. It was a great trip. 玩的很开心，如果旅行不是那么太尽如人意，你可以抱怨说：Nah, the food was really bad. 没有，吃的不太好。

Hogan：Where wouldja like to go tonight?
Dr. Beard: Let’s go to the bars!
Hogan: Which one first?

Dr. Beard : It doesn’t matter, just somewhere dark and smoky.
和女朋友在一起安排约会，这句话可是非用不可的: Where wouldja like to go tonight? 今晚想去哪里玩？当然了，和女朋友在一起用不着太客气或者紧张，所以你可以用wouldja,就是would you的意思。要知道，在和别人约会这种浪漫的气氛下，说一些温柔而随意的英语是最适合不过了。而在一些比较正式的场合，比如在一家五星级的餐厅里，侍者肯定会这样对你说：Would you like some dessert?你需要一些甜点吗？而不用wouldja，看来说英语时，还要根据不同的场合来选择说话的方式呢！

Culture note:
Whadja do last night? Didja have a good time? Can you understand me? If you can’t, then you have the same problem that I had when I arrived in China. I mean I had already studied book Chinese “NI hao ma, xiexie” but I soon discovered that the Chinese they speak on the street is different than what I learned. I mean I learned to say: Ni chi fan le ma?, but many people on the street say” ni chi le ma?” they’re different. I couldn’t understand. Similarly, in English, when most people talk, they don’t speak perfectly clearly all the time. In fact, if you want to be able to understand everybody, then you must know which words are commonly reduced. Sentences like “Whadja do last night?” “Didja have a good time?” “Where wouldja like to go tonight?” are how I would say things to my family and to my friends, and those are what you will hear when you watch English movies, television, or talk to native speakers. So now because I understand colloquial Chinese. If someone says to me “ni Chi fa le ma” then I can automatically and confidently respond “gang chi guo, ni ne?” you got that?
