You are welcome! Is it really "you're welcome?

Since I learned English, I have learned two sentences: "Thank you! ", How do you answer:" You are welcome ". It seems that I am used to this word. Because the company has a full English working environment, this word is frequently used, so I have to think about it carefully.

 

Basic Meanings of welcome

N. Welcome, vt. Welcome, Int. Welcome, adj. Welcome.

The meaning of the modern English-Chinese dictionary is as follows:

Adj. Welcome; good news; [used as a table] can be enjoyed at will; can be used at will; don't thank, don't hesitate

 

That is to say, You Don't Have To Be thankful. You don't have to be polite.

 

If you use Chinese to think about why others say "thank you" to you, you must have helped others or done a good thing, "Thank you "! What you want to say most is "you're welcome !", But foreigners say, "You are very popular !", So I am willing to do this to help you.

 

If you don't want to help others in one situation, you hate him a little, but you have to do it for some reason. After you do it, he will say "Thank you". However, is it strange if you say "you are very popular? A little disgusted with your own feelings?
