核心问题
A: Thank you (very much). B: Not at all.
我们老师告诉我,这里用 not at all 是不礼貌的,应改为 That's all right. 或 You are welcome. 或 That's OK. 或 No problem. 或 Don't mention it.
词典解答
not at all 并非是不礼貌的应答语,而是一种比较正式的用法。而 That's OK. No problem. 则是非正式语体用法。You're welcome. 主要用于美国英语。
“That’s very kind of you. Thank you very much indeed.”——“Not at all.” “你真是太好了。非常感谢。”——“不用谢。”
