The poll of 3,000 people was carried out by the online gift store Me to You. According to the survey, two thirds of respondents believed Britain was a ‘rude’ nation and 84 per cent think others should make more of an effort to show appreciation. Four in ten admitted they did not send thank-you letters if they receive gifts through the post, and the same percentage would not make their children send one either.
以上是3000網民對“謝謝”表達方式的英文排名,傳統的 “Thank you” 竟然被排到了第20位。以往最傳統的國家——英國被三分之二的網民被認為越來越“粗魯”了,調查中,84%的人認為對方應該在表達感謝上做出更大的努力。10個人中有4個人承認,如果他們收到禮物,他們不再選擇通過使用郵寄“感謝信”的方法表達感謝。
