所以，讓我們來談談如何說「謝謝」

I think most people  already know the basic

我覺得大多數都已經知道最基本的了

But to me, it does sound a little  bit unnatural to JUST say

但對我來說，這聽起來有點不自然，如果只說

"Thank You" or "Thanks" without continuing the idea

「謝謝你」或「謝謝」而沒有後續的話

A native speaker will normally continue the idea.

"I appreciate it" means I give value to what you have done for me.

「我很感激」意味著我重視你為我做的事。

Let's practice saying that: thanks, I appreciate it.

我們來練習看看：謝謝，我很感激。

There are SOME situations where  it is ok JUST to say

「謝謝」或「謝謝你」是可以的

Normally it's when someone does  something small for you.

通常是某個人為你做了一件小事

Like when a waiter or a waitress brings you Your food or a drink in a restaurant.

像是在餐廳裡服務生為你送上餐點或飲料

But what about when someone does something  REALLY nice, and you REALLY want to say thanks?

但如果是有個人對你非常好，而你非常想感謝他

I'm going to tell you something now That might surprise you.

我要告訴你一件可能會令你驚訝的事

DON'T SAY thanks a lot or thank  you very much.

別說「非常感謝」或「非常感謝你」

Why not? Native speakers normally only use the phrase thanks a lot

為何不？母語者會說「非常感謝」的情況只有在

"Sarcastic": means when you mean the opposite of what you say.

「諷刺的」表示你說的話與你真實想表達的是相反的。

So when a native speaker says "Thanks a lot,"

所以當母語者說：「非常感謝喔」

他們真正想說的是「一點都不謝」

For example, in the United States a standard tip in a restaurant is 15%

例如，在美國餐廳的標準小費費率是15%

Mmmm... I just LOVE the cheesecake in the cheesecake factory!

嗯...我就是喜歡起司蛋糕工廠的起司蛋糕！

Oh, I remember Shane say us in the  US we must put many extra moneys.

喔，我記得 Shane 說過在美國我們要付很多額外的錢。

For you my friend. One hundred, and  Extra one is for you keeping.

我的朋友這是給你的。一百元加上額外給你的一元。

it's not a good idea to say thanks a lot when you really want to say "Thank You."

最好不要在你真的想說「謝謝」時說

"Thank you very much" just isn't used very much anymore.

「非常感謝你」，這不太常使用。

In fact, the only two people I can  think of who say it are 1. Elvis

事實上，我只想到兩個人會說這句話：1. 貓王

and 2. Lex Brodie - the owner of  a tire company in Hawaii.

還有 2. Lex Brodie—夏威夷輪胎公司的老闆

So what DO native speakers say When they really want to thank someone?

所以當母語者真的想謝謝某個人時，他們會說什麼？

Notice: the emphasis is on the "So". Say it with me:

注意：重音是在「很」。跟著我唸一次：

You're acting surprised: I don't know what to say.

你表現得很驚喜：我不知道該說什麼了

Notice: these are all very dramatic so it would not be appropriate if someone gave you a beer

注意：這些話都很戲劇化，所以並不適用在有個人給你一杯啤酒時

To say: "For me? You shouldn't have!" No.

說：「給我的？你太客氣了！」不要。

if someone has already done something for you

You can say: "It was the least I could do." "It was the least I could do."

你可以說：「這是我僅能做的」、「這是我僅能做的」

Shane I don't know how to thank you. It was the least I could do, after what you did for me.

Shane我真不知道該怎麼謝謝你。這是我僅能做來回報你的。

For example in England (UK) sometimes people say

But be careful with this because in the US, Cheers is what people say before they have a drink

但用這句話時要小心，因為在美國這是在乾杯時會說的話

kind of "hip-hop" way to say thanks would be:

有點嘻哈的方式說「謝謝」是：

Good lookin' out. (Thanks for looking out for me)

多謝幫忙（謝謝你幫了我大忙）

Be careful with these regional ways of saying thank you

用這些地域性的講法說謝謝時要小心

So remember: DON'T SAY Thanks a lot Or Thank you very much

所以記得：別說「非常謝謝」或「非常感謝你」
