其实,除了thank you和thanks之外,英语中至少还有14种表示“谢谢”的说法,而且程度、含义和用法都略有不同。
我们一起来看一看:
1. Thanks a lot(多谢)
例:Thanks a lot for looking after the children.
2. Thanks very much(非常感谢)
例:Thanks very much for making dinner tonight.
3. Thank you very much(非常感谢你)
例:Thank you very much for dinner – it was great.
4. Thank you so much(太谢谢你了)
例:Thank you so much for helping me out today.
*注* Thanks相比Thank you更口语化,后者更正式、感情更丰富一些。
5. I’d like to thank…(我得感谢……)
这是在公开演讲中常用的正式说法,比如在颁奖典礼或者得奖感言上这么说。“感谢CCTV,感谢MTV……”
例:I’d like to thank everyone for coming along and supporting us today.
6. Many thanks(多谢)
这是在信件往来中常用的正式说法,比如和客户、供应商等商务对象往来时说这句客套话。
例:Many thanks for the lovely present.
7. Thanks a bunch(谢天谢地)
这是一种非正式的说法,但或许是因为有点夸张,所以常被用作讽刺用语,用来挖苦别人。
例:You told Tony what I told you in confidence? Thanks a bunch!
