说到不用谢,我们第一个想到的就是You're welcome, 但其实这句话并不适用于所有场景,本文就来教大家“不用谢”的多种表达方式。
01. Welcome
首先大家要知道You're welcome的正确写法:
- You're welcome.✅
- You're welcomed. ❌
Welcome在这里是一个形容词,不是一个动词。
- You're very welcome.(形容词)
- Welcome to China.(动词)
其实you're welcome这个表达比较正式,用在朋友和同事之间会显得有点奇怪。
02. Less formal
接下来我们来看看“不用谢”在口语里比较轻松的说法:
- Don't worry about it.
- No worries.(澳洲人最常用)
- Not a problem.
因为我们一般不想让朋友因为我们的帮助而烦恼。
Not at all这个词虽然不算正式,但是朋友之间不太会用,大家更常用:
- Don't mention it.
- It was nothing.
我们也可以把上面这些表达结合在一起说:
- Don't mention it. It was nothing.
- Don't worry about it. It was nothing.
03. Other expressions
上面这些说法大家都可以从字面上理解它们的含义,但还有些说法没有办法直接理解:
- You got it!(means no problem)
- You bet.(我肯定会帮你的)
- Yep!(Don't say "yes")
- Cheers!(Especially in service industries)
最后再分享三个“不用谢”的表达方式:
- My pleasure.(A little formal but polite)
- I'm happy to help./Happy to help.
- (任何时候我都愿意帮忙)
