Thank you and goodbye: Most of us 'would rather say cheers, ta or even just give a wave or smile.
Thank you和goodbye都過時了，我們更愛說cheers，ta，揮個手或者微微一笑。
If you do someone a good turn today, don’t expect a thank you. "Cheers", "ta" or even "wicked" is the more likely response, if a survey is to be believed. Research among computer users suggests that the traditional expression of gratitude has fallen by the wayside. Cheers, oh and ta for dinner: The traditional "thank you" is being usurped by snappier ways to show thanks, like "Wicked", "You star" and "Cool".
如果今天的你幫了人家的忙，可能別再期待對方說"thank you"兩個字了。在西方，傳統的道謝方式已經過時，現如更容易聽到的"謝謝"不再是"Thank you"，而被 Cheers (餐桌上乾杯用語），或者時髦表達高興愉悅的語氣詞"ta"、還有撒嬌的詞語"wicked"、"You star"（你還不錯哦） and "Cool"（酷） 逐漸成為如今"謝謝"的替代品。
