在英国听到“cheers”了解是干杯，大错特错

去英国时坐飞机，空姐倒完水之后我说Thanks，空姐说Cheers，于是我就对她举了举杯。空姐事先就惊呆了。再之后从海关到机场大巴司机，一块上都有人跟我说cheers，我就疑惑了啊，我这手里也没杯子啊怎样cheers？！

When I travelled by air in Britain, the stewardess served me some water and I said "Thanks", she said"cheers", then I raised my cup. She looked puzzled. Then out of the plane I found almost all people, from Customs staff to shuttle bus driver, were saying "cheers." Why cheers? I have no glass in hand!

点评：英国人说cheers表现"谢谢，再见"的意思。British use "cheers" as "thank you and good bye!"
