回答：
Dear Hideki, I lived in Japan, so I understand why you have this question.
亲爱的Hideki，我曾经在日本居住过，所以我理解你为什么有这个问题。
In your language, there are specific expressions people always use for such times.
在日语中有一些人们用于这种场合的特定表达方式。
In English, though, there are several different things we can say when leaving someone.
但是在英语中，当跟某人分别时，我们有多种不同的说法。
You guessed at some of them in your email:
你在电子邮件中想到了其中一些：
You said, "Maybe I should have said, 'Have a good one,' 'Nice talking to you,' or 'Enjoy your time off.'"
你说：“也许我应该说，‘Have a good one（祝你愉快）’，‘Nice talking to you（很高兴跟你聊天）’，或者是‘Enjoy your time off（假期愉快）’”。
Let's look at situation 1: You are leaving a coworker, but you will see him or her at lunch time.
我们先看第一种场合：你跟同事分开，但是午餐时会再见到他（她）。
In a school, someone may say to a teacher, "Have a good class," or "See you after class."
在学校中，人们可以跟老师说：“Have a good class（祝你上课顺利）”或是“See you after class（课后见）”。
If you are not speaking to a teacher, you can say, "See you at lunch," "See you a little later," or simply, "Later."
如果你不是跟老师说话，你可以说：“See you at lunch（午餐见）”、“See you a little later（一会见）”或直接说“Later（稍后见）”。
In situation 2, you had lunch with a coworker and are leaving for the afternoon.
在第二种场合中，你跟同事共用午餐后分开。
Now you can say, "Have a good afternoon." You can also say "Have a good one."
那么你可以说，“Have a good afternoon（祝你下午愉快）”，也可以说“Have a good one（祝你愉快）”。
That is the same as telling someone to have a good day, afternoon or evening.
这两句的意思都是祝别人一整天、下午或晚上过得愉快。
Let's look at situation 3, where you are leaving for the evening or weekend.
我们再看第三种场合，你将在晚上或周末前分开。
On Fridays, you can always say, "Have a good weekend."
周五的时候你可以说：“Have a good weekend（周末愉快）”。
On any other workday, you can say, "Good night" or "See you tomorrow."
在其他工作日，你可以说：“Good Night（晚安）”或是“See you tomorrow（明天见）”。
There is one more time when you may want to say something.
还有一种情况你可能想要说些什么。
When you leave a meeting, you can say to others, "See you later."
当你结束会面时可以跟别人说：“See you later（一会见）”。
Your suggestion, "Nice talking to you" is more common when you don't talk to someone every day.
你提到的“Nice talking to you（很高兴跟你聊天）”更常用于跟某人不是每天都交谈的时候。
If you called a friend, for example, whom you have not seen for months, this would be a good way to close the conversation.
如果你给一位朋友打电话，假设你们几个月没见了，那么这句话就是谈话收尾的一种好办法。
"Enjoy your time off" is something we often say to people who are taking days off from work for vacation.
“Enjoy your time off（假期愉快）”这句话我们经常是对那些即将休假的人说的。
This would not be said every day.
这不是每天都说的。
And, finally, in any work situation, you can also just say, "Bye!"
最后，在任何工作场合，你都可以直接说：“Bye（再见）”。
And that's ask a teacher!
以上就是本期名师答疑的全部内容。
