Как написать сокращенно you are welcome

Сегодня мы разберем, как сказать «не за что» по-английски или как ответить на «thank you» («спасибо»). Забегая вперед, скажу: «You are welcome» — это не единственный вариант и не всегда наиболее подходящий.

Как сказать «Не за что» по-английски в разных ситуациях

Ответить на «thank you» можно по-разному в формальной и неформальной ситуации.

Неформальное «не за что» на английском

• No problem! — Без проблем!
• Sure! — Конечно! / Без проблем!
• Forget it! — Забудь! (мол, ерунда)
• No worries! — Не беспокойся, не парься! (мол, пустяки!)
• That’s all right — букв. «все в порядке», по смыслу что-то вроде «не за что»
• Anytime! — букв. «когда угодно», что-то вроде нашего «обращайтесь!»

Формальный ответ на «thank you»

• Not at all — Не стоит благодарности (это не точный перевод, а более-менее соответствующий по смыслу эквивалент)
• It was my pleasure / My pleasure / The pleasure is mine — что-то вроде «было приятно самому», по-русски звучит странно, но в английском это довольно строгий, формальный вариант ответа.
• It was the least I could do — Это было наименьшее, что я мог сделать (разумеется, такое выражение должно подходить к определенному контексту)
• I am happy to help — Счастлив помочь.
• I am always at your service. — Я всегда к вашим услугам.

Наиболее популярный и знакомый по учебникам ответ «You are welcome» можно отнести к обеим категориям, здесь все зависит от того, с какой интонацией, выражением вы скажете эту фразу. Если сказать легко и беззаботно, то «You are welcome» или сокращенное «You’re welcome» уместно в дружеской беседе, но все же так чаще говорят незнакомым (или не очень хорошо знакомым) людям. В разговоре с друзьями чаще можно услышать «Sure» или «No problem».

Любой язык это дерево с множеством ответвлений. Письменный, разговорный, сленг, профессиональные термины. А что вы знаете про сокращения в английском языке? Их сейчас щедро используют в записках, смс и при общении в интернете. Если вы  общаетесь  с иностранцами, вам обязательно пригодиться, я тут малость в фейсбуке нахваталась.))
Итак, самые популярные…

• Что значит TNX или THX?

“Спасибо!”. Как часто мы говорим это слово. Привычное русское сокращение – спс. А на английском thanks чаще всего выглядит как tnx, thx, thanx. Слова thank you, тоже часто пишутся акронимом ty.

• Что значит NP и YW?

Когда нам сказали “спасибо”, то нужно ответить “пожалуйста”. You’re welcome (yw) –сокращение от фразы “всегда пожалуйста” или “обращайся”. No problem (np) – это сокращение от ответа “не за что”, или дословно “нет проблем”.

• Что значит PLZ или PLS?

Это сокращение от please, то есть просьбы “пожалуйста”.

• Что значит XOXO?

Повторяющиеся буквы XO можно часто встретить в конце писем или сообщений. Это символьное обозначение hugs and kisses, по-русски “целую-обнимаю”. Литера X похожа на сложенные бантиком губы и означает поцелуи. Некоторые считают букву X символом двух целующихся людей, тогда левую и правую половинки представляют как отдельные губы. А буква O, как замкнутый круг, символизирует объятья.

• Что значит LOL?

Это акроним от “laughing out loud» или «lots of laughs”. Дословно это переводится как “смех вслух”. Но сейчас чаще используется как тупой смешок вроде “гы-гы-гы” или скептическое “ха-ха как смешно”.

• Что значит ROFL?

Такое сокращение можно перевести, как “катаюсь по полу от смеха”. Расшифровывают rofl как Rolling On the Floor Laughing.

• Что значит WTF?

Искреннее недоумение можно выразить фразой “What the fuck?”. Это переводится как “что за фигня? ” или даже “какого черта?”. И в быстрой переписке сокращается до wtf.

• Что значит OMG?

Восклицание omg! расшифровывается как “Oh, my God!” и употребляется в зависимости от контекста с удивлением или отвращением. Впрочем, как и в русском “О, боже!”.

• Что значит BRB?

Сокращение от фразы be right back. То есть человек сообщает о том, что должен отлучиться, но обязательно вернётся. Часто после этого сокращения пишут причину отлучки, например: brb, mom’s calling.или brb, someone at the door.

• Что значит RLY?

И так не слишком длинное слово “Really”, означающее “правда/так действительно было”, в сообщениях принято сокращать до RLY.

• Что значит BTW?

Акроним BTW расшифровывается как By The Way или “между прочим”.

• Что значит AFK или g2g?

В прошлой заметке я писала про сообщение “скоро вернусь” BRB (Be Right Back). Но иногда человек просто сообщает, что должен отойти от клавиатуры AFK (Away From Keyboard) или ему пора уже куда-то идти g2g (Got To Go) или GTG.

• Что значит IMHO и FYI?

Все мы знаем что ИМХО(имею мнение хрен оспоришь), перекачивало из английского IMHO (In My Hummble Opinion/по моему скромному мнению). Но так же часто можно встретить сокращение FYI (For Your Information), означающее “к вашему сведению”.

• Что значит AFAIK?

Менее напористые доводы обычно начинают акронимом AFAIK (As Far As I Know) или “насколько мне известно”.

• Что значит SY?

Часто мы прощаемся фразой «Увидимся!» по-английски See You. Но кто сейчас будет писать целых 6 символов? Поэтому гораздо чаще пишут или SY, или CYA, или даже CU.

• Что значит XYZ?

Если я вижу друга с расстёгнутой молнией на брюках, то просто скажу ему: “XYZ”. Что означает Examine Your Zipper или «проверь замок на ширинке».

• Что значит BYOB?

Если тебе пришло приглашение на вечеринку а внизу написано BYOB, то хозяева предупреждают, что будут угощать закуской без спиртного, то есть бутылочку того, что будешь пить надо принести с собой. Bring Your Own Bottle означает “захвати себе бутылку”

• Что значит AC/DC?

Вы наверняка знаете хард-рок-группу «Эй-Си/Ди-Си» и официально это сокращение от понятий из физики alternating current/direct current — переменный/постоянный ток. Но в сленге это выражение означает “бисексуал”. Поэтому родилось не мало скандальных слухов о участниках группы. Кстати, бисексуалов в Америке так же называют each way.

1. BYOB

[biː-waɪ-əʊ-biː]

Расшифровывается как Bring Your Own Bottle — «захвати себе бутылку». Это означает, что хозяин вечеринки, на которую вас приглашают, позаботился об угощении, но в отношении алкоголя рассчитывает на помощь гостей.

Come to Nick’s house at 5 pm. BYOB. — Приходи к Нику сегодня в пять. Приноси алкоголь!

2. SMH

[ɛs-ɛm-eɪʧ]

Это сокращение от Shaking My Head переводится как «качаю головой» и означает реакцию на нечто неприятное или очень странное.

— He’s late again. — Он снова опаздывает.
— SMH. — Качаю головой.

3. CSL

[siː-ɛs-ɛl]

Аббревиатура от Can’t Stop Laughing. Она, наоборот, говорит о том, что собеседник не может сдержать смех при упоминании о чём-то действительно весёлом. По сути, ещё одна версия LOL.

— Have you seen that video with a dancing dog? — Видел это видео с танцующей собакой?
— CSL! — Не могу перестать смеяться!

4. FOMO

[ˈfəʊməʊ]

Fear Of Missing Out — популярное в последнее время сокращение, означающее страх что-то пропустить. Например, вечеринку.

I have to go to that party! I have severe FOMO! — Я должен пойти на эту вечеринку! У меня жёсткий страх пропустить что-то важное!

5. AF

[eɪ-ɛf]

Расшифровывается как As Fuck, но ничего ругательного не означает. Это крайняя степень чего-либо, как русское «офигеть».

Those tacos were spicy AF! — Эти тако были офигеть какими острыми!

6. FAM

[ˈfæm]

Как бы вы назвали своего лучшего друга или подругу, с которыми вы ну очень близки? Наверное, сказали бы, что они вам как брат или как сестра? В английском на этот счёт есть сокращение FAM от слова Family.

My fam is always there for me. — Мои близкие друзья всегда готовы прийти мне на помощь.

7. IRL

[aɪ-ɑːr-ɛl]

Интернет захватил мир настолько, что мы даже стали делить жизнь на реальную и виртуальную. Так и появилось сокращение IRL — In Real Life.

IRL I’m a very friendly person actually. — В реальной жизни я вообще-то очень дружелюбный человек.

8. ELI5

[iː-ɛl-aɪ faɪv]

Выразить искреннюю неосведомлённость в каком-либо вопросе можно с помощью сокращения ELI5 (Explain Like I’m 5), что означает: «Объясни так, будто я пятилетний».

I know nothing about computer hardware, ELI5. — Я ничего не знаю о компьютерных деталях, объясни так, будто мне пять лет.

9. FTFY

[ɛf-tiː-ɛf-waɪ]

В англоязычных чатах иногда можно встретить FTFY. Это сокращение может понравиться любителям исправлять грамматические ошибки за другими, потому что означает Fixed That For You и переводится как «Исправил это за тебя».

It should be speak, not spik. FTFY. — Это должно быть speak, а не spik. Исправил за тебя.

10. DAE

[diː-eɪ-iː]

Сокращение вопроса «Does Anyone Else?» («Кто-то ещё?»). К примеру, вам хочется найти единомышленников среди собеседников:

— DAE like this band? — Кому-то ещё нравится эта группа?

11. AMA

[eɪ-ɛm-eɪ]

А если вы эксперт в каком-либо вопросе и вам хочется поделиться своими знаниями, пригодится AMA — Ask Me Anything. Спросите меня о чём угодно!

I’ve been studying Van Gogh for years, AMA. — Я изучаю Ван Гога годами, спросите меня о чём угодно.

12. ICYMI

[aɪ-siː-waɪ-ɛm-aɪ]

Это аббревиатура, образованная от длинного выражения In Case You Missed It. Используется в разговоре, чтобы объяснить обсуждаемую тему тому, кто только к нему подключился: «На случай, если ты пропустил…»

ICYMI, we were talking about our healthcare system. — На случай, если ты пропустил, мы обсуждали наше здравоохранение.

13. PAW

[piː- eɪ- ˈdʌblju(ː)]

Как часто вы, будучи подростком, старались скрыть от родителей темы своих разговоров с друзьями? Нынешняя молодёжь гораздо изобретательнее: когда мама стоит за спиной и исподтишка наблюдает, о чём её чадо болтает с товарищами, в ход идёт сокращение PAW — Parents Are Watching.

Let’s go to the library together? PAW. — Пойдём в библиотеку? Родители смотрят!

Бонус

И напоследок простые выражения, которые могут вам пригодиться в переписке с англоязычным другом:

• YW [waɪ-ˈdʌblju(ː)] — You’re Welcome.
• RLY [ɑːr-ɛl-waɪ] — Really.
• ILY [aɪ-ɛl-waɪ] — I Love You.
• SY [ɛs-waɪ] — See You.

Посмотрите 6-минутный видеоурок английского языка на Youtube-канале Enline о том, как сокращать популярные английские выражения.

&lt;span data-mce-type=»bookmark» style=»display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;» class=»mce_SELRES_start»&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

На любом этапе освоения языка мы встречаем английские сокращения: как на письме, так и устной речи. Наиболее часто мы видим в текстах слова, написанные с применением апострофа – isn`t , won`t и ряд других. В этих случаях мы имеет дело с сокращениями. Таким образом носители английского упрощают написание текста в неформальном стиле.

Приведем ряд общеупотребимых примеров:

I am = I`m

You are = you`re

Are not = aren’t

Am not = aren`t – исключение

He is = he`s

He has = he`s

I have = I`ve

I would = I`d

I will = I`ll

Not = n`t

Will not = won`t

There is = There`s

There are = There`re

Ain`t – неформальная, нестандартная, разговорная форма = am not; are not; is not; have not; has not; will not

Кроме того в официальной переписке требуется применять именно краткую, а не полную форму обращений и обозначений официального, профессионального и научного статуса

Mr = Mister

Mrs = Mistress

Dr. = doctor

B.Sc. =Bachelor of Science бакалавр наук

M.A.= Master of Arts магистр искусств

Ph.D.= Doctor of Philosophy кандидат наук

M.D. = Doctor of Medicine доктор медицинских наук

Существует ряд привычных топонимических сокращений и сокращений от латинских основ, применяемых в дипломатической и обычной переписке :

NB = nota bene = please note – обратить внимание

RSVP = repondez s`il vous plait = please reply ответьте, пожалуйста

e.g. = exempli gratia = for example

i.e. = id est = that is то есть

a.m. = ante meridiem = in the morning

p.m. = post meridiem = in the afternoon

etc = et cetera и так далее

Blvd.=boulevard бульвар

Sq.=square площадь

Ave.=avenue авеню

Rd.= road шоссе

Bldg.=building

St = Saint / Street

Необходимыми при письме являются сокращенные варианты формальных юридических статусов для обозначения форм собственности в бизнесе и при составлении официальных документов и научных публикаций.

Business contractions

Co = company

PA = personal assistant личный помощник

Appx. = appendix приложение

Re. = reply ответ

avg.=average – в среднем

cf.=confer, compare – смотреть также

ed.=edited, edition – издание, издано

esp. especially – особенно

est.=estd. –established основанный or estimated расчетный

CAO = Chief Administrative Officer Руководитель администрации

CEO = Chief Executive Officer Главный исполнительный директор

Exp. = export

HR = Human Recourses кадровая служба компании

HQ = Headquarters главное управление компании

LLC = Limited Liability Company – общество с ограниченной ответственностью

R&D = Research and Development – исследования и разработки

IT = Information Technology

AGM = annual general meeting

Ряд сокращений применяется в привычной повседневной речи при устном употреблении таких , например слов, как :

Speaking style

Bike – bicycle

Lab = laboratory

TV = television

Exam = examination

Ad = advertisement – реклама

Case = suitcase – портфель

Mum = mother

Dad = father

Phone = telephone

Board = blackboard — доска

Flu – influenza

Fridge = refrigerator – холодильник

Большой пласт сокращений образовался под влиянием постоянных повторяющихся слов в переписке

Сокращения также обыгрывают звучание слов и их произношение, то есть, например, если буква C английского алфавита звучит [si:] и глагол «видеть» также произносится [si:], то очевидно становится легко возможной замена в неофициальном тексте написание глагола одной буквой. По этой причине цифры 4 и 8 часто заменяют написание части слова, которая звучит похожим образом: before [bɪˈfɔː(r)] four [fɔː(r)] сокращаем и получаем BE4.

Существует ряд устойчивых сокращений, используемых in up-to-date texting and mailing, следует понимать, что их применение большей их части неформально и ограничено социальными нормами; приведем некоторые примеры, которые может использовать репетитор по английскому по скайпу.
