参考译文:
“谢谢”是指你认识到有人为你做了什么。因此,我们整天都在感谢人们,即使是最微小、最平凡的事情。如果服务员给你端来一杯咖啡,你会说“谢谢”。当你付钱买食物和零钱时,你会对收银员说“谢谢”。如果有人在街上指路,你会说“谢谢”。如果有人请你吃饭,你会说“是的,谢谢你,我很愿意来。”但是,这已经足够了。过度表达感激之情会让西方人感到非常不舒服,给人一种空虚的感谢感,一种正式的或需要的叩头感,这并不表示感激,而是虚伪。例如,如果你的顾问花了半个小时的时间帮你编辑你刚写的信,你需要说“谢谢你,我真的很感谢你的时间。”但是这样的一两个短语就足够了。如果你不停地说他对你的好意,这个人会感到不感激,但会很生气,也不会急于再次帮助你。
