【适用场合】
今天要学习的表达是：What’s the word?
是什么意思，用在什么场合呢？
相当于What’s going on with you? 或者What’s new? 或者How are you?
“怎么了？有什么事情？近来好吗？”
然后在口语中，也可以说成是What’s the good word? 是可以替换使用的。

eg:
A: "Hey, Trent."
B: "Yo, what's the word, dude?"
A:“嘿，特伦特。”
B:“嘿，你好呀，最近怎么样啊哥们？”

eg: Haven't seen you in a while! What's the good word?
好久不见了！最近怎么样啊？

eg: I haven't seen you in ages! What's the good word?
我好久没见你了，最近好吗？
（有点像大家熟知的Long time no see.的用法。）

在口语中还可以说What’s the word on sb./sth.? 提问某个人或者某件事的近况。
比如说：
eg: A: "What's the word on Susan? She was supposed to be back at the office today."
B: "Apparently, her apartment was broken into while they were gone, so she's been dealing with the police all day."
A：“Susan最近怎么样啊？她今天本应该回办公室上班的。”
B：“很明显，他们不在家的时候，她家公寓被人非法闯入了，所以她今天一直在跟警方打交道处理这件事情。”

eg: What's the good word on that party? Is it happening or not?
那个派对现在什么情况/进展了？还开不开？
