一、how about和what about的区别
1、How about:
可以用来表达对事物的惊讶:"How about those dogs?"
"What about " 则没有这项意思。
如果你提供多项事物让人选择,那么必须使用 "How about" :
"Here are three jackets you might buy. How about the grey one?"。
2、What about:
若是征求意见或打听消息,只能使用 "What about"
"What about the university?" (强调 about 这个字)
这是 "How about ...." 无法表达的意思。
二、how about和what about的用法
1、向对方提出建议或请求。
例如:
How about going out for a walk?出去散散步好吗?
What about another cake?再吃块蛋糕好吗?
2、征询对方的看法或意见。
例如:

3、、询问天气或身体等情况。

4、寒暄时用作承接上下文的转折语。
