英国人说'cheers!'可不仅仅是要和你干杯!
小红有个好朋友是位来自英国的小伙伴Jessica,她刚来中国时拜托小红教她中文,如今Jessica终于学成了,她决定请小红吃饭,好好谢谢小红的帮助。
晚饭的时候,Jessica十分高兴地对小红说'cheers!'
小红还以为是大家一起举杯,刚想举起杯子,发现对面的Jessica正在吃东西,完全没有干杯的意思,小红一头雾水。
其实在英国人的语言用法里,'cheers!'并不只是指“干杯”哦!
cheers!
其实英国人说cheers是“谢谢”的意思哦~毕竟就算干杯也大多发生在庆祝的时候,这个时候就会感谢这件好事发生了,所以理解成谢谢也不是不可以啦!
