Neil 提前給菲菲買了一件圣誕禮物，他覺(jué)得這個(gè)禮物很酷，但菲菲好像不大喜歡這個(gè)禮物。聽(tīng)他們的對(duì)話，學(xué)習(xí)如何在收到不心儀的禮物時(shí)，禮貌、誠(chéng)懇地感謝送禮人的一片心意。

大家好，歡迎來(lái)到 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Neil
And I’m Neil.
Feifei
你手里拿的那個(gè)包裹是什么？Looks exciting!
Neil
It's a present.
Feifei
禮物？給誰(shuí)買的禮物？
Neil
For you! For Christmas!
Feifei
給我的圣誕禮物？不過(guò)是不是有點(diǎn)早啊？
Neil
Well, I saw these and I just knew you'd love them so much – so I bought them! I can't wait till Christmas to see your face. Go on, open it now!
Feifei
You're too kind, Neil. OK…一副眼鏡，哈利·波特眼鏡！
Neil
Aren't they brilliant? Go on, try them on.
Feifei
I look ridiculous. And I don't even like Harry Potter. Oh, well, it's the thought that counts.?
Neil
'It's the thought that counts' - an excellent expression, Feifei. If someone gives you a present which you don't like, you can say 'it's the thought that counts'.
Feifei
“It’s the thought that counts” 是一句禮貌用語(yǔ)，通常用在贈(zèng)送禮物的場(chǎng)景中。盡管收禮人可能不喜歡收到的禮物，但仍想感謝送禮人的一片心意的時(shí)候，就可以說(shuō) “It’s the thought that counts.”，也就是我們說(shuō)的 “心意最重要，禮輕情意重”。
Neil
Let's hear some examples of this expression which is particularly useful around Christmastime.
Examples
A: Wow! That Elvis Presley onesie you're wearing is pretty weird.
B: Oh, thanks. My grandmother gave it to me for Christmas. It's the thought that counts, I suppose.
A: I have no idea what to get my aunt for her birthday.
B: Err, get her anything. It's the thought that counts.
A: Oh, no, not more tea towels! I was expecting something more exciting for our wedding presents.
B: You know what they say? It's the thought that counts!?
Feifei
這里是 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。本集節(jié)目里介紹的表達(dá)是 “It’s the thought that counts.” 通常用在贈(zèng)送禮物的場(chǎng)景中。收禮人可以用這句話來(lái)感謝送禮人的一片情誼，而禮物是什么就不那么重要了。
Neil
A very useful expression for politely saying that a present someone bought you is really not what you wanted. OK, Feifei, lean over.
Feifei
Ouch! What are you doing with that pencil?
Neil
There we go. With that flash of lightning on your forehead now you really look the part - Feifei Potter.
Feifei
Hmm, I need a spell to make you vanish, Neil.
Neil
Goodbye!
Feifei
Bye!
