1.感謝與回答感謝
1.慣用口語句子:
Thank you.
謝謝你。
本句相當(dāng)于“Thanks.”,這兩種表達(dá)法后面都可以加修飾語,如“Thank you very much.”或“Thanks a lot.”等,譯為“非常感謝”。
Thank you for your help.
謝謝你的幫助。
“Thank you for+名詞/doing sth.”是“為某事而感謝某人”的固定表達(dá)方式。
I really can't thank you enough.
太感謝你了。
enough ad.足夠地,充足地口,足夠的,充足的
It's very nice of you.
你真好。
較親密的朋友問也可以用“That's sweet of you.”。
I'm very grateful for you.
我非常感激你。
grateful a. 感激的,感謝的
I owe you one.
我欠你個人情。
I'm in your debt.
我欠你情。
owe v. 欠,感恩于
debt n. 債務(wù),負(fù)債,恩義,情義
be in debt“欠債,欠人情”
I do appreciate what you have done for me.
我的確很感激你為我所做的一切。
appreciate v. 感謝,感激

我想表達(dá)我的感激之情。
express v. 表達(dá),表示
gratitude n. 感激之情,謝意

3.詳細(xì)解說
1.“take/have a look(at sb./sth.)”的意思是“看或查看(某人或某物)”,例如:Let me have a look at that.(讓我看一下那個東西。)另外,“have/take a look around/round”表示“四處查看(某個地方)”,例如:Do you mind if I take a look around?(你介意我四處看看嗎?)
2.“be happy to do sth.”表示“樂意做某事”。
3.“Anything for you.”是省略語,它的完整形式是:“I'll do anything for you.”,原意為“我愿意為你做任何事情。”在口語交流中,一般譯為“不用謝,不客氣,我很愿意幫忙”等等。
4.“company”的含義“同伴,陪伴”,在英美人的日常生活中很是常用,例如:He keeps good company.(他和好人來往。)I enjoy his company.(我很喜歡有他為伴。)
