英语口语 | 不能跟熟人说 You're welcome ?

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)
