現在進行式

Today, we're going to learn 16 different responses to 'thank you'.

今天我們要學 16 種不同的「Thank you」回應方式。

頻率副詞

Hey Siri, how often do I have to water my tomato plant?

嘿 Siri，我的番茄要多久澆一次水？

過去簡單式

For the record, 'you're welcome' is still by far the most common response,

順帶一提，you're welcome 仍然是最常見的回覆方式，

so there's absolutely nothing wrong with using it,

but different responses do have slightly different meanings,

但不同回應方式確實會帶出些微不同的語氣與含義，

so let's expand your vocabulary and knowledge of English by learning them.

所以讓我們一起擴充你的字彙量以及英語知識吧。

We're also going to study real world examples of people responding to 'thank you'

我們也會一起看一些真實世界裡人們如何回應 thank you 的例子，

so you can see how they respond and how they string together multiple responses.

讓你看看他們會怎麼回，以及他們如何把多種回應串在一起使用。

I want to make sure you know how to pronounce this word: Are you thinking 'you're'?

我想確定你知道這個詞的發音：你是不是在想 you're？

Because that's not how we would say that. We would say 'yer', you're welcome, yer, yer, yer.

因為我們實際上不會那樣唸。我們會唸成 yer。You're welcome → yer welcome。

this is called a reduction, where we change the sounds and make a word shorter, quicker in spoken English.

這叫做「弱化」（reduction），在口語英文中，會把發音改短、變快。

You won't hear someone say: You're welcome.

你不會聽到有人很完整地說：You're welcome。

通常都是：Yer welcome。yer，yer。

You can also vary this by adding a word like 'quite'.

你也可以加一些字，比如 quite。

Quite makes it more formal for sure, and you'll see fewer examples of this.

Quite 會讓語氣更正式一些，你會比較少聽到。

By the way, if you don't know Youglish, that's where I'm going to get all these example.

順便說，如果你不知道 Youglish，我所有例子都會從那裡找。

You can type in a word or phrase and it gives you a bunch of different video clips

你可以輸入一個字或片語，它會給你一堆影片片段，

where that example is used.  So it's a good way to not only get examples,

展示這些例子的真實使用方式。這很好，不只是例句，

but see how frequent a phrase is in spoken English.

還能看到這些片語在口語中出現的頻率。

You might say this if someone says to you: 'Thank you very much'.

如果有人對你說：Thank you very much，你就可以這樣回。

But you can also just say it as a response to 'thank you'.

但其實你也能用來回一般的 thank you。

You might also hear: You're so welcome. This could be a response to 'Thank you so much'.

你也會聽到：You're so welcome。這可以回 Thank you so much。

Wow, we're also learning different ways to say 'thank you', aren't we?

哇，我們好像也順便學到不同的 thank you 了，對吧？

Okay, next. You'll also hear 'you're most welcome'.

好了，下一個。你也會聽到 you're most welcome。

這個比較正式，也沒那麼常見。

I want to point out that when we have a T between two consonants,

我想指出一件事：當 T 夾在兩個子音之間時，

like here, we have ST, the ending cluster of 'most', and then W, the 'w' of 'welcome',

像這裡，MOST 的結尾是 ST，後面接 welcome 的 W。

In a case like this, most native speakers will usually drop that T.

在這種情況下，大部分母語者會把 T 省略。

No T.  Let's listen to that example again, plus another one, and notice, there is no T in 'most'.

沒有 T。再聽一次那個例子，還有另一個例子，你會注意到 MOST 的 T 不發音。

Another thing you can instead of 'you're welcome', that's casual, is 'no problem.'

另一個替代 you're welcome 的方式，是比較口語的  no problem。

This one is more casual, but you will hear it a lot.

這個比較隨興，但你會很常聽到。

Actually, my cousin used to work at a restaurant that was a little bit fancy,

其實，我表妹以前在一家有點高級的餐廳工作，

and she said one of the rules there is that they were not allowed to respond to 'thank you' with 'no problem'.

她說店裡規定他們不能用 no problem 回 thank you。

I guess the management felt it was a little too casual.

But really, in most situations, I think it's just fine.

但其實在大多數情況下，我覺得完全沒問題。

Now, my cousin was told instead to say something more formal like,

我表妹當時被要求用更正式的回應，例如：

In British English, you can even shorten it to just 'pleasure',

在英式英文中，甚至可以簡化成 pleasure。

but that's not something we do in American English.

Now, another way you can respond to 'thank you' is with 'thank you'.

另一種回應 thank you 的方式是…回 thank you。

This shows that we enjoyed what you asked us to do.

You'll hear it a lot in a situation like this: Someone is invited to speak somewhere or present something,

你會常在這種情況聽到：有人受邀演講或分享，

and when someone says, 'thank you for coming' or 'thank you for being here' or

當別人說「謝謝你來」 或 「謝謝你參加」 或 「謝謝你願意做這個」，

'thank you for doing this,' that person will say, 'thank you for inviting me.'

那個人會回答 Thank you for inviting me.

Sometimes with more emphasis on 'you'. Thank YOU for inviting me.

有時會更強調 YOU：Thank YOU for inviting me。

In the next one he'll say 'no, thank YOU.'  And he'll really emphasize 'you'.

接著下一個例子，他會說 No, thank YOU. 而且強調 YOU。

This is a phrase I use pretty much every day when I get an email from a student thanking me for a video,

這是我幾乎每天都會用的句子，尤其是學生寄 email 謝謝我影片、

or for my Academy, the materials there, I always say, no thank YOU.

或謝謝我的 Academy 裡的教材時，我都會回：No, thank YOU。

Thank you for watching, for signing up, for putting in the time to study with me.

謝謝你們觀看、註冊、願意花時間跟我一起學習。

You'll so hear 'sure'.  Short, quick, casual.

你還會聽到 Sure。簡短、快速、隨興。

Sure thing! She didn't say: You're welcome!

Sure thing！她沒有說 You're welcome！

'Of course' by itself means obvious, expected.

Of course 的意思是：理所當然、預期之內。

So when someone says 'of course' instead of 'you're welcome',

所以當有人用 of course 取代 you're welcome，

the feeling is 'it's obvious that I would do that because I want to do that'.

語氣就像是在說：「我當然願意幫你，我很樂意」。

It's friendly.  It's a friendly way to say it.
