"Hi, this is Lucy, a student from Hong Kong. I was in the UK for an exchange programme. May I ask a question about the way people say 'thank you'? I usually hear people say 'cheers' instead of 'thank you' or 'thanks'. Are there any differences between 'cheers' and 'thanks'? Is 'cheers' less formal? And when do we use 'cheers' and when do we use 'thanks'? I am confused. Thank you very much!"

Cheers 是我們大家都很熟悉的一個(gè)單詞。在喜慶的場(chǎng)合大家舉杯慶祝的時(shí)候，都會(huì)齊聲說“Cheers! 干杯！”。不過，在英國，如果你幫了別人忙，別人回你一句“Cheers!”，這里“cheers”的意思可不是“請(qǐng)你喝酒”，而是被用來表達(dá)“謝謝”的意思，這個(gè)說法給人一種親切感。那什么時(shí)候可以用cheers 來替代thanks 或者thank you 呢？來聽聽節(jié)目，讓你的英語更地道！
