👋NÓI CẢM ƠN NHƯ NÀO ĐỂ GÂY ẤN TƯỢNG🥰

Cùng một câu "Cảm ơn" nhưng tiếng Anh có rất nhiều cách diễn đạt. Tùy vào mỗi hoàn cảnh, tình huống, đối tượng khác nhau mà chúng ta có những cách diễn đạt riêng. Hà Phong IELTS xin gửi bạn những cách nói cảm ơn một cách trang trọng và phù hợp hoàn cảnh nhất😉

1. I owe you one
Để bày tỏ sự cảm kích sau khi ai đó đã giúp đỡ bạn việc gì trong công việc, ngoài dùng từ “Thanks”, bạn nên nói thêm câu “I owe you one”. “I owe you one” tạm dịch là “Tôi nợ bạn một sự giúp đỡ” vì “one” ở đây chính là “a favour”. Khi sử dụng câu này, ý của người nói là muốn thể hiện họ nợ người kia một hành động đáp trả lại sự giúp đỡ vừa rồi.

2. I really appreciate it/that
“I really appreciate it/that” có nghĩa là “Tôi rất cảm kích điều đó”. Từ “Thank you” chỉ là câu nói mang tính lịch sự, đơn giản, không biểu hiện nhiều cảm xúc. Hơn thế, “I really appreciate it/that” có nghĩa là bạn thừa nhận, công nhận giá trị của hành động mà ai đó đã làm cho bạn, thể hiện sự biết ơn, cảm kích lớn. Thông thường, bạn nên kết hợp “Thank you” và “I really appreciate it/that” để nhấn mạnh lời cảm ơn.

3. Thanks a bunch
“Thanks a bunch” là cách nói cảm ơn dùng trong những trường hợp thân mật như bạn bè, người quen,… với hàm ý mỉa mai, trêu chọc khi việc làm của người đó khiến bạn không hài lòng. Lời cảm ơn ở đây có ý trách móc, hờn giận và sẽ thể hiện qua giọng điệu của câu nói. Bạn cũng có thể dùng “Thanks a lot” và “Thanks very much” trong trường hợp này.

4. You’re the best/You’re awesome/You’re the greatest.
Đây là mẫu câu vừa thể hiện sự cảm ơn, vừa để khen ngợi người vừa giúp đỡ mình việc nào đó. “You’re the best/You’re awesome/You’re the greatest” (Bạn là tuyệt nhất) là câu nên nói khi bạn cảm thấy biết ơn ai đó, và tất nhiên không cần có nghĩa nghiêm túc rằng họ thật sự là tuyệt nhất theo nghĩa đen của câu. Bạn nên nói kèm “Thank you so much” để tăng tính biểu cảm, đặc biệt nhấn mạnh vào chữ “so”. Cách cảm ơn này bạn nên dùng với đồng nghiệp, bạn bè.

5. Oh, you shouldn’t have
Đây là cách diễn đạt cảm ơn khi có ai đó tặng quà cho bạn một cách bất ngờ. “Oh, you shouldn’t have” (Ồ, bạn không cần phải làm vậy đâu) là cách cảm ơn khá lịch sự, xã giao, có thể sử dụng để nói với đồng nghiệp, đối tác. Trong những trường hợp thân thiết như bạn bè, gia đình, thì không nên dùng mẫu câu cảm ơn này.

6. I’m so grateful for…/I’m so thankful for…/Many thanks for…
Đây là cách cảm ơn khi bạn muốn bày tỏ sự cảm kích với những người bạn hoặc đồng nghiệp đã giúp đỡ mình việc gì đó. Mẫu câu này thường được sử dụng khi bạn nhắn tin hoặc viết bức thư cảm ơn.

7. I truly appreciate…./Thank you ever so much for…/It’s so kind of you to…
Mẫu câu cảm ơn này thường được sử dụng trong email gửi đến đồng nghiệp, có thể dùng trong trường hợp viết email gửi đến cả nhóm cảm ơn sau khi vừa hoàn thiện một chiến dịch, cảm ơn vì đã làm thêm giờ hoặc cảm ơn vì tất cả đã tự nguyện làm thêm ngày thứ 7,…

8. I cannot thank you enough for …/ I’m eternally grateful for …/ I want you to know how much I value/ Words cannot describe how grateful I am for…
Đây là cách diễn đạt sự biết ơn với những người đã giúp đỡ bạn vượt qua những tình huống thực sự khó khăn trong cuộc sống như mất việc, khủng hoảng tinh thần, người thân qua đời,… Những mẫu câu này phù hợp hơn khi sử dụng trong một bức thư cảm ơn.

資料來源：美國白宮新聞稿
This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.

A day of history and hope. Of renewal and resolve.

Through a crucible for the ages America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge.

Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy.

The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.

We have learned again that democracy is precious.

Democracy is fragile.

And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.

So now, on this hallowed ground where just days ago violence sought to shake this Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries.

We look ahead in our uniquely American way – restless, bold, optimistic – and set our sights on the nation we know we can be and we must be.

I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here.

I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

You know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength of our nation.

As does President Carter, who I spoke to last night but who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service.

I have just taken the sacred oath each of these patriots took — an oath first sworn by George Washington.

But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us.

On “We the People” who seek a more perfect Union.

This is a great nation and we are a good people.

Over the centuries through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we have come so far. But we still have far to go.

We will press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility.

Much to repair.

Much to restore.

Much to heal.

Much to build.

And much to gain.

Few periods in our nation’s history have been more challenging or difficult than the one we’re in now.

A once-in-a-century virus silently stalks the country.

It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II.

Millions of jobs have been lost.

Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.

A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.

A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear.

And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.

To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.

It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:

Unity.

Unity.

In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”

My whole soul is in it.

Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:

Bringing America together.

Uniting our people.

And uniting our nation.

I ask every American to join me in this cause.

Uniting to fight the common foes we face:

Anger, resentment, hatred.

Extremism, lawlessness, violence.

Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.

With unity we can do great things. Important things.

We can right wrongs.

We can put people to work in good jobs.

We can teach our children in safe schools.

We can overcome this deadly virus.

We can reward work, rebuild the middle class, and make health care
secure for all.

We can deliver racial justice.

We can make America, once again, the leading force for good in the world.

I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.

I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real.

But I also know they are not new.

Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart.

The battle is perennial.

Victory is never assured.

Through the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice, and setbacks, our “better angels” have always prevailed.

In each of these moments, enough of us came together to carry all of us forward.

And, we can do so now.

History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity.

We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors.

We can treat each other with dignity and respect.

We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.

For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.

No progress, only exhausting outrage.

No nation, only a state of chaos.

This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward.

And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America.

If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail.

We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together.

And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start afresh.

All of us.

Let us listen to one another.

Hear one another.
See one another.

Show respect to one another.

Politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path.

Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.

And, we must reject a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.

My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this.

America has to be better than this.

And, I believe America is better than this.

Just look around.

Here we stand, in the shadow of a Capitol dome that was completed amid the Civil War, when the Union itself hung in the balance.

Yet we endured and we prevailed.

Here we stand looking out to the great Mall where Dr. King spoke of his dream.

Here we stand, where 108 years ago at another inaugural, thousands of protestors tried to block brave women from marching for the right to vote.

Today, we mark the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office – Vice President Kamala Harris.

Don’t tell me things can’t change.

Here we stand across the Potomac from Arlington National Cemetery, where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace.

And here we stand, just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, and to drive us from this sacred ground.

That did not happen.

It will never happen.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not ever.

To all those who supported our campaign I am humbled by the faith you have placed in us.

To all those who did not support us, let me say this: Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.

And if you still disagree, so be it.

That’s democracy. That’s America. The right to dissent peaceably, within the guardrails of our Republic, is perhaps our nation’s greatest strength.

Yet hear me clearly: Disagreement must not lead to disunion.

And I pledge this to you: I will be a President for all Americans.

I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.

Many centuries ago, Saint Augustine, a saint of my church, wrote that a people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love.

What are the common objects we love that define us as Americans?

I think I know.

Opportunity.

Security.

Liberty.

Dignity.

Respect.

Honor.

And, yes, the truth.

Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson.

There is truth and there are lies.

Lies told for power and for profit.

And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders – leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.

I understand that many Americans view the future with some fear and trepidation.

I understand they worry about their jobs, about taking care of their families, about what comes next.

I get it.

But the answer is not to turn inward, to retreat into competing factions, distrusting those who don’t look like you do, or worship the way you do, or don’t get their news from the same sources you do.

We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.

We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.

If we show a little tolerance and humility.

If we’re willing to stand in the other person’s shoes just for a moment.
Because here is the thing about life: There is no accounting for what fate will deal you.

There are some days when we need a hand.

There are other days when we’re called on to lend one.

That is how we must be with one another.

And, if we are this way, our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future.

My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.

We will need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.

We are entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus.

We must set aside the politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.

I promise you this: as the Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

We will get through this, together

The world is watching today.

So here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested and we have come out stronger for it.

We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.

Not to meet yesterday’s challenges, but today’s and tomorrow’s.

We will lead not merely by the example of our power but by the power of our example.

We will be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress, and security.

We have been through so much in this nation.

And, in my first act as President, I would like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.

To those 400,000 fellow Americans – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

We will honor them by becoming the people and nation we know we can and should be.

Let us say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives, for those they left behind, and for our country.

Amen.

This is a time of testing.

We face an attack on democracy and on truth.

A raging virus.

Growing inequity.

The sting of systemic racism.

A climate in crisis.

America’s role in the world.

Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways.

But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with the gravest of responsibilities.

Now we must step up.

All of us.

It is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do.

And, this is certain.

We will be judged, you and I, for how we resolve the cascading crises of our era.

Will we rise to the occasion?

Will we master this rare and difficult hour?

Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world for our children?

I believe we must and I believe we will.

And when we do, we will write the next chapter in the American story.

It’s a story that might sound something like a song that means a lot to me.

It’s called “American Anthem” and there is one verse stands out for me:

“The work and prayers
of centuries have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?…
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America
America
I gave my best to you.”

Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our nation.

If we do this then when our days are through our children and our children’s children will say of us they gave their best.

They did their duty.

They healed a broken land.
My fellow Americans, I close today where I began, with a sacred oath.

Before God and all of you I give you my word.

I will always level with you.

I will defend the Constitution.

I will defend our democracy.

I will defend America.

I will give my all in your service thinking not of power, but of possibilities.

Not of personal interest, but of the public good.

And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.

Of unity, not division.

Of light, not darkness.

An American story of decency and dignity.

Of love and of healing.

Of greatness and of goodness.

May this be the story that guides us.

The story that inspires us.

The story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history.

We met the moment.

That democracy and hope, truth and justice, did not die on our watch but thrived.

That our America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world.

That is what we owe our forebearers, one another, and generations to follow.

So, with purpose and resolve we turn to the tasks of our time.

Sustained by faith.

Driven by conviction.

And, devoted to one another and to this country we love with all our hearts.

May God bless America and may God protect our troops.

Thank you, America.

這是美國的一天，這是民主的一天，是歷史和希望的一天，是更新與決心的一天。美國幾個世代經過熔爐的考驗之後，如今再次遭到試煉，而且已再次奮起應付挑戰。今天，我們慶祝的不是一位候選人的勝利，而是一個奮鬥目標的勝利，是為民主的奮鬥。人民的意志被聽見了，人民的意志得到了關注。

我們再次學到，民主是珍貴的，民主是脆弱的，而在此刻，朋友們，民主已然勝利。短短幾天之前，還有暴力試圖撼動國會的根基，但今天我們齊聚這個莊嚴的所在，以一個在上帝之下不可分裂的國家，展開權力的和平轉移，一如我國200多年的傳統。

我們要用美國特有的方式，也就是不停歇、勇敢、樂觀的方式展望未來。放眼我們可以成為、也必須成為的國家。我謝謝今天蒞臨的兩黨前任總統，我衷心感謝，你們知道我國憲法的韌性，以及我們國家的力量。卡特總統（Jimmy Carter）也是，我昨晚與他通了電話，但他不克前來。我們為他畢生的奉獻向他致敬。

我剛才跟這幾位愛國者一樣鄭重宣誓，一篇最初由華盛頓宣讀的誓詞。然而，美國故事靠的不是我們任何一個人，或一部分人，而是我們全體。它靠的是「我們人民」，在尋求一個更好的合眾國的人民。這是個偉大的國家，我們是一群良善的人。

經歷過去幾個世紀的風雨和衝突、和平與戰爭，我們走過很長一段路，但前方還有很長一段路要走。我們將快速緊急前行，因為在這個危險與機會的冬天，我們有很多事要做。有很多需要修補、需要恢復、需要癒合。有許多需要建設，也可以有很多收穫。

在我國歷史上，很少人或很少時刻面臨著比我們目前更大的挑戰或困難。百年一見、無聲無息蔓延整個國家的病毒，在一年之內奪走的人命，跟美國在第二次世界大戰犧牲的總人數一樣多。數百萬工作機會流失，成千上萬企業關門。

400年來的種族正義的呼聲感動著我們，全民同享公義的夢想將不再拖後。地球生存的呼聲再急迫不過，也再清楚不過。如今政治極端主義、白人至上主義和本土恐怖主義的興起，讓我們有必要起來面對並將它們擊倒。

克服這些挑戰、恢復美國靈魂和鞏固未來需要的不只是話語，而是民主當中最難以捉摸的部分，那就是團結一心，團結一心。

另一個一月天，在1863年開年之時，林肯總統簽署解放奴隸宣言。讓我引述他在下筆時所說的話：「如果我留名青史，將會是因為這份宣言，以及我投注其中的全心全意。」

今天，同樣在一月裡，我全心全意投注於此：團結全體國人，團結整個國家。我請求所有美國人加入，和我一起努力，團結對抗我們共同的敵人：怨氣、不滿、仇恨、極端主義、目無法紀的行為、暴力、疾病、失業和無助。

團結一心，我們能夠成就偉大事業、重要的事情。我們可以糾正錯誤，可以讓民眾找到好的工作，可以在安全的校園教導孩子，可以克服這個致命的病毒。我們可以讓工作獲得報酬，重建中產階級，可以提供全民健保，可以兌現種族正義，讓美國再次成為世界主要的良善力量。

我明白，這個時候談論團結聽起來像愚昧的天方夜譚，我知道分裂我們的力量又深又真切，但我也知道這些力量不是現在才出現。美國向來在人人平等這個理想，和國家長期被種族主義、本土主義、恐懼和妖魔化分化的醜陋現實之間掙扎。這個征戰從未止息，勝利並無保證。

從南北戰爭、大蕭條、世界大戰到911恐攻，儘管歷經奮鬥、犧牲和挫折，良善的天使向來都會勝利。每當遇到這種時刻，我們都會有足夠的人團結一心，讓全國一起向前，我們現在也可以這麼做。

歷史、信仰和理性指向一條明路，一條團結之路。我們可以不把彼此當成敵人，而是鄰居。我們可以尊嚴和尊重彼此相待，可以同心協力，停止叫囂，讓溫度冷卻。因為沒有團結就沒有和平，只會留下苦毒與憤怒；不會有進步，只會有讓人厭倦的離譜言行；不會有國家，只會有混亂狀態。

這是我們危機和挑戰的歷史性一刻，而團結是前進的道路，我們必須以合眾國的姿態來面對這一刻，若能做到，我向諸位保證我們不會失敗。當我們團結起來，我們從來就不曾失敗，因此在這一天，在此時此刻，就在這裡，讓我們重新來過，全體一起來。讓我們開始再次彼此聆聽，讓對方說，相互探望，對彼表達尊重。

政治不必像這一團熊熊之火，燒毀一切，歧見不必成為全面戰爭的理由。我們必須摒棄操弄甚至捏造事實的文化，同胞們，我們不能這樣，美國必須不只是這個樣子，而且我相信美國不至淪落至此。

看看四周，我們站在國會大廈圓頂之下，這是南北戰爭時期完成的，當時美國的前途還在未定之天，但我們挺過來了，我們勝利了。我們現在站在此，看著偉大的國家廣場，金恩博士（Martin Luther King Jr.）曾對廣場上的群眾訴說他的夢想。也是在這裡，108年前的另一場就職典禮，數以千計的抗議人士試圖阻撓一群勇敢的婦女遊行爭取投票權。

今天我們見證副總統賀錦麗創造美國歷史，成為第一位擔任國家領導人的女性，別告訴我事情無法改變。

我們站在這裡，隔著波多馬克河（Potomac River）遠眺阿靈頓國家公墓（Arlington National Cemetery），也就是為國捐軀的英雄長眠之地。我們站在這裡，不過幾天前，暴動的群眾以為他們可用暴力箝制民眾的意志，阻撓民主運作，把我們驅逐出這塊聖地。但事情未如他們所願，今天不會，明天也不會，永遠都不會。

每位支持我們參選的民眾，我因你們給予我們的信心感到謙卑。對於沒有支持我們的人，讓我對你們說：未來請聽我說的話，評量我和我的心。如果你們還是不同意，也罷。這就是民主。這就是美國。以平和的方式在我們國家的規範之內表達異議的權利，可能是我國最大的優勢。

但請聽清楚：不同意見絕對不能變成不團結。而且我向各位保證，我要當全體國人的總統。不論你支持我或不支持我，我都將同樣為你們而努力。

好幾個世紀之前，我所屬教會的聖者聖奧古斯丁（Saint Augustine）曾經寫道，人民是個群體，由他們共同喜愛的東西所定義。身為美國人，我們共同喜愛而且能定義我們的東西是什麼？我想我們都知道：機會、安定、自由、尊嚴、尊重、榮譽，是的，還有真相。

最近的幾個星期、幾個月給了我們痛苦的教訓：有真相，也有謊言，為了權力和利益而說的謊言。我們每個人做為公民，做為美國人，特別是身為領導者的人，曾經承諾要遵守憲法、保護我們的國家的領導者，有職責、有責任要捍衛真相、打敗謊言。

我瞭解有許多同胞以害怕、惶恐的心情看待未來。我瞭解他們擔心工作問題。我瞭解他們像我父親那樣，夜裡躺在床上盯著天花板，想著得要有醫療保險、有貸款要付、想著他們的家庭，想著接下來會如何。我跟各位保證，我瞭解。但答案不是退縮，不是進入到彼此競爭的派系，不信任看起來跟你不一樣的人，跟你有不同信仰的人，或者新聞來源不同於你的人。

我們必須結束這場「無禮的戰爭」，它讓紅藍對立、鄉村與都市的民眾對立、保守派與自由派對立。我們可以做到，如果我們敞開心胸，而不是讓我們的心變硬，如果我們展現一些包容和謙虛，如果我們願意為別人設想，就像我母親說的：只要一下子就好，為別人設想。

因為人生就是這樣，你無法預知命運。有些時候，你會需要別人伸出援手，還有些時候，人家會請你伸出援手。就是要這樣，這就是我們為彼此做的事。如果我們這麼做，我們的國家就會更強大、更繁榮，更能為未來做好準備，而且我們還是可以有不同意見。

同胞們，我們在推動未來的工作時，會需要彼此。我們要集舉國之力，才能度過這個黑暗的冬天。我們可能在進入疫情最嚴重、最致命的階段。我們必須把政治擺在一邊，要終於能夠舉國對抗這個大流行，用舉國之力。我向各位保證，就如聖經所說：「一宿雖有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。」我們將可一起度過，一起！

各位，我跟我在參眾兩院的同事們都瞭解，世人正在觀看，他們今天在看著我們，因此這是我要對國外傳達的訊息：美國受到試煉，而我們因此更為茁壯。我們將修補我們與盟國的關係，再次與世界往來，不是為了面對昨天的挑戰，而是今天和明天的挑戰。我們將不是藉著我們力量的典範來領導，而是憑藉我們典範的力量。我們將會是和平、進步與安定堅強而且可信賴的夥伴。

各位都知道，我們國家經歷了許多事情。我做為總統要做的第一件事，是要請你們跟我一起，為過去一年因疫情喪生的人們默禱，紀念那40萬個同胞，母親、父親、丈夫、妻子、兒子、女兒、朋友、鄰居和同事們。我們要成為我們自知可以成為、而且應該成為的人民和國家，以此榮耀他們。因此我請大家，一起為離世和失去親友的人們，還有我們的國家默禱，……阿們。

各位，這是試煉的時刻。我們面對對民主與真相的攻擊、正在肆虐的病毒、嚴重的不公、系統性的種族歧視、陷入危機的氣候，還有美國在全球的角色問題。其中任何一點都足以對我們構成嚴重的挑戰。但事實是，我們在同時面對這一切，這讓美國挑起我們最重大的責任之一。我們將受到試煉，我們能迎接挑戰嗎？這是大膽的時候，因為有好多事情要做。

而我向各位保證，這點是肯定的：你我將被評判，標準是我們如何解決這個時代一一發生的危機。我們將迎接挑戰。我們能否戰勝這個罕見而艱難的時刻？我們能否履行我們的義務，把一個新的、更好的世界傳給我們的下一代？我相信我們必須那麼做，而且我相信你們也這麼認為。我相信我們會，而且當我們做到，我們將寫下美國歷史偉大的新章節。美國的故事。

這個故事可能像一首對我來說深具意義的歌曲，它叫「美國頌」（American Anthem），它有一段歌詞至少對我來說很特別，它是這樣說的：「數百年的努力與祈禱讓我們來到今天，我們有什麼能傳承下去？我們的子孫會怎麼說？當我的日子結束，讓我內心知曉，美國，美國，我已為你付出最大努力。」

讓我們把我們自己的努力和祈禱，加到我們偉大的國家仍在發展的故事之中。如果我們做到，那麼當我們的日子結束，我們的子孫和他們的子孫會說：「他們付出了最大的努力，他們盡了他們的責任，他們修補了破碎的國家。」

同胞們，我的結語要跟開頭一樣，有個神聖的誓言。在上帝和各位面前，我向你們保證。我將始終開誠布公，我將捍衛憲法，我將捍衛我們的民主。我將捍衛美國，全心全力奉獻為你們服務，心中想的不是權力，而是可能性，不是私利，而是公眾的利益。我們將一起寫下美國希望的故事，而非恐懼的故事，是團結而非分歧，是光明而非黑暗。是禮貌與尊嚴、愛與療癒、偉大與善良的故事。

希望這是引導我們的故事、啟發我們的故事，是能告訴未來的世世代代我們回應歷史的召喚並且回應了時代挑戰的故事。民主與希望、真相與公義沒有在我們的時代衰亡，而是生生不息，美國固守了國內的自由，並且再次成為世界的明燈。這是我們對先人、對彼此和對未來世世代代的責任。

因此，我們要有目標、有決心，把注意力轉向這個時代的任務，靠信心來維持，靠信念來驅使，為彼此和我們全心熱愛的國家而奉獻。願上帝保佑美國，保守我們的三軍。謝謝美國！

=================================
「Thank you」以外の「ありがとう」12選！
=================================
　
「ありがとう」と感謝の気持ちを伝えるときは「Thank you.」や「Thank you very much.」を使うことが多いと思いますが、英語には「Thank you.」以外にも様々な感謝の気持ちを表す表現があります。今日のライブレッスン（https://youtu.be/Sx3WJS5bmNo）では、シチュエーションで使い分ける「Thank you」以外の12の感謝表現をご紹介していますので、次回誰かに感謝の気持ちを伝えるときにはぜひ使ってみてください！
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
1. When someone does something nice for you.（親切なことをされた時）
--------------------------------------------------　
　
相手の親切な行為に対して「あなたは最高だ！」と感謝を伝える時は、「You’re the best!」と言います。「You’re amazing!」や「You rock!」などもよく使われますが、これらにはカジュアルでフレンドリーな響きがあります。丁寧に感謝の気持ちを伝えたい時は、「That’s very kind of you.」を使うといいでしょう。
　
また、「Thanks a lot.」や「Thank you very much.」の代わりに使える口語的な言い回しが、「Thanks a million.」です。直訳すると「100万のありがとう」となるこの表現は、感謝の気持ちを強調したい時に使えるフレンドリーな言い方です。
　
＜例文＞
　
Thanks for helping me out. You're the best.
（手伝ってくれてありがとう。君は最高だ！）
　
I appreciate your call. That's very kind of you.
（電話ありがとう。君はとても親切だね。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
2. When someone says something nice to you.（親切なことを言われた時）
--------------------------------------------------
　
誰かのおかげで幸せな気分になったり、相手の一言で励まされたとき英語では「You made my day.」という表現を使うことがよくあります。直訳すると「あなたのおかげで良い一日になったよ」になり、相手に感謝の気持ちを伝えるときに使われます。
　
「That means a lot to me.」は直訳で「これはとても意味がある・重要だ」になりますが、感謝の気持ちを伝えるシーンで使うと「あなたにそう言ってもらえて嬉しいです」といった意味合いになります。相手（尊敬する人）からの誉め言葉に対して感謝を伝えるときに使える表現です。
　
＜例文＞
　
Thanks for the compliment. You made my day.
（褒めてくれてありがとう。おかげで良い1日になった。）
　
Thanks for the encouragement. That means a lot to me.
（励ましてくれてありがとう。あなたにそう言ってもらえると嬉しいです。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
3. When someone does you a favor.（お願い事を聞いてもらった時）
--------------------------------------------------
　
無理なお願いを引き受けてくれた友達に対して使う感謝の言葉が、「I owe you one!」です。 owe は「（人に）借りがある」を意味し、お金の貸し借りだけでなく、人に助けてもらった時にも使うことができます。例えば、早朝に駅まで送ってくれた友達に感謝の気持ちを伝えるときは「Thank you. I owe you one.（ありがとう。この借りはいつか返すから）」のように言うといいでしょう。
　
＜例文＞
　
Thanks for taking me to the airport. I owe you one.
（空港まで送ってくれてありがとう。この借りはいつか返すから。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
4. When someone does something unexpected.（思いがけないことが起きた時）
--------------------------------------------------
　
旅行に行った友達から思いがけずお土産をもらった時、友達や同僚から突然誕生日プレゼントをもらった時などに、日本語では「わざわざすみません」や「お気遣いありがとうございます」と言うと思いますが、そんなシーンにぴったりな英語表現が「You shouldn’t have.」です。直訳すると「そんなことしなくてもいいのに」になり、相手の気遣いに対してお礼の気持ちを示す時に使われます。
　
その他、あまりの感動で何と言っていいかわからない時は、「I don’t know what to say.」と言うといいでしょう。ちなみにこの表現は、感謝の気持ちを伝える時以外にも、びっくりするようなニュースを聞いて「何て言っていいかわからな」と言う時にも使えます。
　
＜例文＞
　
You got me a gift from LA? You shouldn't have. But thank you!
（ロスのお土産を買ってきてくれたんですか？わざわざすみません。ありがとうございます。）
　
Is this brand-new iMac? I don't know what to say.
（これって新品のiMac?何て言えばいいか分からないよ。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
5. When someone helps you achieve something.（誰かのおかげで何かを達成した時）
--------------------------------------------------
　
誰かの協力やサポートのおかげで何かを成し遂げることができた時に使う感謝の言葉が、「I couldn’t have done it without you.」です。直訳で「あなたがいなければできませんでした」となるこの表現は、自分が目標を達成できたこと、結果を出せたことは相手のおかげであるといったニュアンスになります。
　
＜例文＞
　
I couldn't have done this/it without you. Thank you.
（あなたのおかげです。ありがとうございます。）
　
I couldn’t have made it without your support.
（あなたのサポートがなければ達成できませんでした。）
　
I couldn't have passed the test without you.
（テストに合格できたのはあなたのおかげです。）
　
　
--------------------------------------------------
6. When someone helps you in tough times.（辛い時期に助けてもらった時）
--------------------------------------------------
　
誰かが自分の見方をしてくれたり、かばってくれた時には「Thanks for having my back.」と言うといいでしょう。ここで使われるbackは「背中」や「後ろ」を指し、この表現には相手を“後ろから支える”という意味合いが含まれ、どんな状況でも無条件に仲間や友人の味方になってサポートをするニュアンスになります。
　
その他、家族や友達など、自分にとってその人の助けが大事であると相手に伝えたい場合は「What would I do without you?」と言います。この表現は「あなたがいないと私は何もできません」を意味し、相手を頼りにしていることを表します。友人や恋人/配偶者など、仲の良い人に対してよく使われます。
　
＜例文＞
　
Thanks for having my back at the meeting today.
（今日はミーティングで私の味方をしてくれてありがとう。）
　
You brought my camera? Oh good. What would I do without you?
（僕のカメラを持ってきてくれたの？よかった！君がいないと僕は本当に何もできないな。）

[Let's get lost forever....where there are no fires or plagues...
some place where we don't have to fight]

當一個公司合約結束時， 它就不知不覺地結束了。在自由身的那一天， 或許會回顧著過去九年的一切， 但也同時感覺不到太大的分別。 但當真的實在地推出了一首歌， 這感覺很真實， 真的感覺在未曾到達過的領域， 在固有的藍圖當中消失了。 但我很樂意， 很樂意終於能當一個成年人， 自己當自己的老闆、自己當自己的唱片公司、自己說的算。 以下我要感謝很多很多人， 包括這次合作的音樂製作和MV製作團隊、前公司的所有同事、Kendy、和所有歌迷粉絲， 讓我可以造就今天的自己。 感謝我新的版權公司 Warner Chappell， 和推廣團隊。

Sometimes when a label contract is over, it’s just over. But you don’t really feel the difference... but this feels so real, and feels like untapped territory. But I’m grateful for my friends - esp my music producer Terrence Ma and my MV director Irving Cheung and the entire production crew for going above and beyond for this song of mine I wrote with tears.

This is my first single since my departure from my old company, and hiatus of my duo. I wish to thank everyone I've ever worked with, past and present, who shaped me into who I am today.

Thanks to Connie Yau @ Spin Creative Designs, who designed my new company logo, and created an instagram filter to promote this song.
Thanks to Warner Chappell, my new publisher, who also went above and beyond for my distribution. Thanks to Jennings and Red Cat for helping me with promotions.

I owe a lot to the people who stuck by me and believed in me, the friends, fans, subscribers and followers, from Hong Kong and everywhere else, for welcoming me back into this journey as a soloist, for respecting my decisions to take a different path. I owe it to my supportive family. I may be forever searching, forever lost, but right now, I’m so glad and happy to be able to be my own label and my own boss, and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Thank you all so much.

《Lost forever》

There’s nothing left to explain
Nothing else can contain
The can of worms opened and words spoken
My broken emotions remain

I take a trip down memory lane
Hoping it could ease the pain
I never wanted it so complicated
But it’s too much too late

It’s not like I got a plan no
It’s not like I got any control
Home is where the heart is
But if it’s broken there’s nowhere to go

Let’s get lost forever
Where no one knows our names
Let's disappear into thin air
Up in the clouds where we can breathe again

Let’s get lost forever
Above the skylines we’ll find
Some place where we don’t have to fight
Let’s get lost forever

So what if time fades the pain
Could we learn to love again
With all the souls shaken and bridges broken
Is it possible to mend

And I don’t care where we go
If I got your hand to hold
Our hearts will guide us home
Back to the places that we used to know

Let’s get lost forever
Where no one knows our names
Let's disappear into thin air
Up in the clouds where we can meet again

Let’s get lost forever
Above the skylines we’ll find
Some place where we don’t have to fight

If all I got is my faith to follow
All I got is a book of unknowns
Then let me take a moment to let go
If all we see are just color codes
But I’m just me and no one really knows
What our future holds

Let’s get lost together
Where there are no fires or plagues
If we could try to do it right again
Would you be there or would you run from me

Just get lost together
If only one day we’d find
Some way where we don’t have to fight
Some way where we don’t have to hide or get lost forever

Lost forever
