英國人如何說謝謝:Thanks已經(jīng)過時
If you do someone a good turn today, don't expect a thank you。
如果你今天幫了別人,別指望能聽到一句"Thank you"!
'Cheers', 'ta' or even 'wicked' is the more likely response, if a survey is to be believed。

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"聽上去太過正式,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)常會用簡單的揮手動作來代替說"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。

活動發(fā)言人Caroline Weaver表示:“雖然如今廣大的英國民眾對說謝謝可能有些反感,但他們卻愿意用其他方式來表達(dá)自己的感激之情!
