Not at all 是口语中一个十分常用的表达,由于其实际意思往往与其字面意思相去甚远,所以许多同学常常用错。本文拟就其在初中英语中的主要用法归纳如下,以帮助同学们正确使用它。
一、用于回答感谢,意为“不用谢;不客气”。如:
A:Thank you very much. 多谢你了。
B:Not at all. 不客气。
A:Thanks for helping me. 谢谢你帮助我。
B:Not at all. I enjoyed it. 别客气,很高兴能帮你。
A:Thank you very much. 非常感谢你。
B:Not at all. It was the least I could do. 不用谢,这是我应该做的。
二、用于回答带有感谢性质的客套话,意为“没什么;哪里哪里”。如:
A:You are very kind. 你真好。
B:Not at all. 没什么。
A:It’s very kind of you. 你真客气。
