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'
如果今天的你做了好事，可能别再期待对方向您说：“谢谢”两个字了。在西方，传统的道谢方式兴许已经过时，现如今如果您做了好事，比较容易听到的“谢谢”不再是“Thanke you”,而被”“干杯”（Cheers，在酒桌上使用。）,或者时髦表达高兴愉悦的语气词‘ta’、还有撒娇的词语“wicked”、 'You star'（你还不错哦） and 'Cool'（酷） 逐渐成为如今“谢谢”的替代品。
Four out of ten said ‘thank you’ sounded too formal - so they used more catchy, chatty words such as ‘fab’, ‘lovely’ or ‘wicked’. A third said they would often just resort to a quick wave instead of saying ‘thank you’. And 77 per cent said that any of the words used to say thanks were irrelevant, believing a pleasant gesture works just as well.
据调查称，10个被调查的人中有4人觉得“谢谢”过于正式了，他们觉得比较俏皮的表达感谢的方式不容易在交谈的人中间产生尴尬。在调查的人中，有77%的人表示，在表示感谢的时候，做一些善意的手势比起正儿八经说声谢谢要来得重要，来得惬意。
