The expression “Excuse me” is 37 used in the United States than in China. An American says “Excuse me” when he wants to pass 38 someone, to leave a party or a dinner or when he finds himself late for an appointment. “Thank you” means to appreciate （ 感 激 ） 39 someone has done for you. An American says “ Thank you” all day long. For example, he will say “ Thank you ” to the cashier when he had paid for his food. He will say “ Thank you” to a student if he has just answered the question. At home the husband will thank his wife if she brings him a cup of tea. 40 , the wife thanks her husband for helping her with her housework.
