thank
tr.v., thanked, thank·ing, thanks.
- To express gratitude to; give thanks to: He thanked her for the gift.
- To hold responsible; credit: We can thank the parade for this traffic jam.
[Middle English thanken, from Old English thancian.]
thanks to
On account of, because of, as in Thanks to your help, we'll be done on time. This phrase alludes to gratitude being due to someone or something. It is also put negatively, no thanks to, meaning "without the benefit of help from," as in We finally found your house, no thanks to the confusing map you drew. This usage, first recorded in 1633, is about a hundred years older than the first term, recorded only in 1737.
五成英人愛說

〔國際新聞中心／綜合報導〕在英國，如果你幫了別人一個忙，別期望聽到「謝謝」！調查顯示，現在越來越多英國人覺得用「謝謝」（Thank you）表達謝意，實在太過正經八百，因此近5成的人寧可用「謝啦」（Cheers）等不那麼正式的同義詞取代，說法文「謝謝」（Merci）或西班牙文「感謝」（Gracias）的人，都比說Thank you的人多。甚至有受訪者認為，表達謝意無須拘泥言詞，一個迷人的微笑，就足以訴說千言萬語。
這份由線上禮物商店「Me to You」發起的民調，詢問3000名英國民眾如何表達感謝，結果高居排行榜第一的竟然不是傳統的Thank you，而是也有「乾杯」等意的「Cheers」。近5成受訪者表示，他們使用Cheers的頻率，還比使用Thank you高。其他諸如簡明扼要的俚語「感恩喔！」（Ta）、「大感謝！」（Much appreciated），甚至連「酷喔！」（cool）、「讚！」（awesome），用的人都比說Thank you的多。「Me to You」表示，4成受訪者覺得「Thank you」太過正式，也有許多受訪者認為，只要是用友善又禮貌的方式表達，如何表示感謝，形式並不那麼重要，因此許多人認同，送上甜死人的微笑、或用揮手等表示謝意，可是遠遠勝過千言萬語道出的感謝呢！
