礼貌用语“thank you”正渐渐消失

It is considered one of the basics of politeness, but saying "thank you" may be dying out, according to new research.
[size=14px]  [color=#008000]  据英国《每日电讯报》11月23日报道,根据一项最新的研究表明,曾经最基本的礼貌用语之一“thank you”(谢谢你)现在说的人越来越少,这句常用语正在慢慢消失。[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    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.[/size]
[size=14px][color=#008000]    我们并不是不表达感谢,只是会换句话说。事实上,三分之一的人说他们通常都会使用另外一句话来表达谢意。[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    Among the most popular phrases were the less formal "ta" and "cool" as well as the French word "merci".[/size]
[size=14px] [color=#008000]   最为流行的表达是不太正式的“ta”,“cool”以及法语单词“merci”(法语中的“谢谢你”)。[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    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.[/size]
[size=14px][color=#008000]    尽管普通的英国人平均一年说“thank you”的次数仍然高达5000次,但研究结果却显示比较随意的说话方式出现得越来越多,40%的人认为他们说“thank you”的次数要比上一代少。[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    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.[/size]
[size=14px][color=#008000]    英国电视台“美食联播网”进行了一项调查,以配合感谢日的成立,该调查也显示出有1/20的人用“nice one”代替了“thank you”。[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    But 95 percent still believe good manners are important and eight in 10 Britons say they are polite.[/size]
[size=14px][color=#008000]    但是95%的人仍然坚信良好的礼仪非常重要,十个英国人中有八个人都认为自己彬彬有礼。[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    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."[/size]
[size=14px] [color=#008000]   美食联播网的总经理尼克·曹罗古德说:“这突出表明了对我们来说花费时间和精力去致谢仍然是非常重要的。人们总会找到最适合自己的致谢方式。”[/color][/size]
[size=14px]    "It is interesting to see what the act means to different people."[/size]
[size=14px]   [color=#008000] “看到同样的行为对于不同的人来说有不同的意义,这是非常有趣的[/color][/size]
