　　In the Western world, people love to say 'thank you' even for the smallest things. If you buy something at the store, the customer and the clerk both want to say 'thank you.' When someone pours you a drink, we also want to say thank you. When someone gives you praise, we don't say "Where, where," like in China. In the West we just say 'thank you.' However, it is important to use other words to express "thank you" that will show you can speak fluent English. And your English is very fluent, right?

　　在西方，即使是别人帮自己做了微不足道的小事的时候，当事人都喜欢说"谢谢"。如果你在商店购物，顾客和营业员都会对双方说“谢谢”。当有人为你倒了杯茶的时候，你也应该说声“谢谢”。当有人夸奖你的时候，在西方人们不象中国人那样说“哪里哪里”，而说“谢谢”。然而，除了说“谢谢”之外，还可以用其它类似的表达法，表现你能说流利的英语，而且你的英语非常棒，不是吗?
