It is considered one of the basics of politeness, but saying "thank you" may be dying out, according to new research.

根據(jù)一項(xiàng)最新的研究表明，曾經(jīng)最基本的禮貌用語之一“thank you”（謝謝你）現(xiàn)在說的人越來越少，這句常用語正在慢慢消失。

 

 

Rather than failing to show gratitude, however, we are simply using other words. In fact, one in three people say they usually use another word to express gratitude.

我們并不是不表達(dá)感謝，只是會換句話說。事實(shí)上，三分之一的人說他們通常都會使用另外一句話來表達(dá)謝意。

 

Among the most popular phrases were the less formal "ta" and "cool" as well as the French word "merci".

最為流行的表達(dá)是不太正式的“ta”，“cool”以及法語單詞“merci”（法語中的“謝謝你”）。

 

Although the average Briton still says thank you up to 5,000 times a year, the results indicate an increasingly casual way of speaking, with 40 percent believing they use "thank you" less than previous generations.

盡管普通的英國人平均一年說“thank you”的次數(shù)仍然高達(dá)5000次，但研究結(jié)果卻顯示比較隨意的說話方式出現(xiàn)得越來越多，40%的人認(rèn)為他們說“thank you”的次數(shù)要比上一代少。

 

The poll by television channel Food Network UK to coincide with the launch of Thank You Day also showed that one in 20 said "nice one" instead.

英國電視臺“美食聯(lián)播網(wǎng)”進(jìn)行了一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，以配合感謝日的成立，該調(diào)查也顯示出有1/20的人用“nice one”代替了“thank you”。

 

But 95 percent still believe good manners are important and eight in 10 Britons say they are polite.

但是95%的人仍然堅(jiān)信良好的禮儀非常重要，十個(gè)英國人中有八個(gè)人都認(rèn)為自己彬彬有禮。

 

Nick Thorogood, the managing director of Food Network, said: "This highlights that taking the time and effort to say thanks is still very important to us. People will always find the way that works best for them."

美食聯(lián)播網(wǎng)的總經(jīng)理尼克·曹羅古德說：“這突出表明了對我們來說花費(fèi)時(shí)間和精力去致謝仍然是非常重要的。人們總會找到最適合自己的致謝方式。”

 

"It is interesting to see what the act means to different people."

“看到同樣的行為對于不同的人來說有不同的意義，這是非常有趣的。”
