100个最常用的英语短语(十个简单好用的英语小短语)(3)

A picture is worth a thousand words:一张图胜过千言万语

#1. No sweat &#2. No biggie 没关系、别客气、举手之劳

"No sweat" is a short version of "no sweat off my back."

"No sweat" 是 "no sweat of my back" 的缩短版

"sweat" 是流汗的意思,紧张的时候是不是会汗流浃背啊?

这时候一句No sweat,就能让人平静不少。

"No biggie" comes from "No big deal".

"No biggie" 是从"No big deal" 演变而来,也是“不是个事儿”的意思。比如:

怎么用?

A: I'm sorry I'm running a few minutes late. 不好意思,我要迟到几分钟。

B: No sweat. 没事的啦/不要紧。

A: Thank you for your help.谢谢你帮我!

B: No biggie. 小事一桩

#3. You bet! 当然啦、必须的!

"You bet" is similar to "No sweat". But it also has other usages:
