一句謝謝能逆轉局勢

“Your dress looks great on you.”
你的裙子很適合你！
--> Really? I thought it makes me look fat.
      真的嗎？我想說它讓我看起來很胖。
這麼說更好 
--> Thank you so much. I just bought it last week.
       謝謝！我上周才買的。

“You did great on your commencement speech!”
你的畢業演說很棒！
--> Did I? I was nervous out there.
      有嗎？我超緊張的。
這麼說更好
--> Thank you. I'm glad it went well.
      謝謝，我很開心演說進行得順利。

和朋友聚會，你遲到了30 分鐘…
我們常常這樣說：
--> Sorry I'm late. The traffic was insane.
      抱歉我遲到了，剛剛超塞車的。
可以改成這樣說：
--> Thank you for your patience.
       謝謝你耐心等我。

除了thank you，也可以試試其他說法表達感謝。
I appreciate that…
cheers ( 英式)
I am flattered.
give a shout out ( 在公開場合謝某人)
I am grateful that…
I owe you one.
That's very kind of you.
means a lot
nice one ( 英式)
You are a legend.
You are a lifesaver.
You shouldn't have . ( 收禮物的情境適用)
