英國(guó)人如何說(shuō)謝謝：Thanks已經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)
If you do someone a good turn today, don't expect a thank you。
如果你今天幫了別人，別指望能聽(tīng)到一句"Thank you"!
'Cheers', 'ta' or even 'wicked' is the more likely response, if a survey is to be believed。
如果這項(xiàng)調(diào)查得到認(rèn)可，那么事實(shí)上你得到的回答更可能是"Cheers"，"ta"，甚至是"wicked" 。
Research among computer users suggests that the traditional expression of gratitude has fallen by the wayside。
一項(xiàng)在網(wǎng)民中展開(kāi)的調(diào)查顯示，傳統(tǒng)的致謝方式已經(jīng)退出潮流了。
Almost half of those polled said they now use 'cheers' more often than 'thank you'。
投票者中將近一半的人表示，比起用"thank you"，他們現(xiàn)在更常用"cheers"。
Four out of ten said 'thank you' sounded too formal – so they used more catchy, chatty words such as 'fab', 'lovely' or 'wicked'。
40%的人認(rèn)為"thank you"聽(tīng)上去太過(guò)正式，所以他們選擇使用像"fab"、"lovely"或者"wicked"這樣更加隨意上口的詞匯。
A third said they would often just resort to a quick wave instead of saying 'thank you'。
三分之一的人更是表示，他們經(jīng)常會(huì)用簡(jiǎn)單的揮手動(dòng)作來(lái)代替說(shuō)"thank you"。
And 77 per cent said that any of the words used to say thanks were irrelevant, believing a pleasant gesture works just as well。
77%的人說(shuō)用哪個(gè)詞來(lái)表達(dá)謝謝都無(wú)所謂，他們相信一個(gè)親切的動(dòng)作能達(dá)到同樣的效果。
The poll of 3,000 people was carried out by the online gift store Me to You。
這項(xiàng)調(diào)查由網(wǎng)上禮品商店Me to You主辦，共有3000人參加。
Spokesman Caroline Weaver said: 'While the great British public might feel uncomfortable saying thank you these days, they do like to show their gratitude in other ways。
活動(dòng)發(fā)言人Caroline Weaver表示：“雖然如今廣大的英國(guó)民眾對(duì)說(shuō)謝謝可能有些反感，但他們卻愿意用其他方式來(lái)表達(dá)自己的感激之情。”
'Respondents felt it didn't matter how you thanked someone for their kind actions, as long as you did so in a friendly and polite way。
“受訪者們認(rèn)為如何感謝他人的善舉并不重要，只要你是用一種友好而禮貌的方式就行。”
'At the end of the day everyone knows that a big smile and some form of acknowledgment is all it takes to show we are grateful.'
“說(shuō)到底，大家都明白，一個(gè)大大的微笑加上隨便某種形式的致謝就足以表達(dá)我們的謝意了。”
