Take care

In the right instances, especially for personal emails, this works.

 在适合的情况下，尤其是私人邮件，这个很有用。

 

Thanks

Lett says this is a no-no. "This is not a closing. It's a thank-you," she insists. I disagree. Forbes Leadership editor Fred Allen uses it regularly and I think it's an appropriate, warm thing to say. I use it too.

 莱特说这个禁用。她认为“这不是结尾而是感谢。”我不同意。福布斯领导力编辑弗莱德·艾伦经常用这个，我认为它是一个合适的、暖心的词。我也用。

 

Thanks!

This rubs me the wrong way because I used to have a boss who ended every email this way. She was usually asking me to perform a task and it made her sign-off seem more like a stern order, with a forced note of appreciation¹, than a genuine expression of gratitude². But in the right context, it can be fine.

 这个很让我恼火，因为我曾经有个老板每封邮件都用这个结尾。他经常让我完成一个任务，带着勉强感谢的符号，这让他的结尾看起来像是一个严厉的命令，而不是真诚地致谢。但是在合适的语境中，它也适用。

 

Thank you

More formal than "Thanks." I use this sometimes.

 比“Thanks”更正式。我有时用这个。

 

Thank you!

This doesn't have the same grating quality as "Thanks!" The added "you" softens³ it.

 这个不会像“Thanks”那么让人不悦！“You” 缓和了语气。

 

Many thanks

I use this a lot, when I genuinely appreciate the effort the recipient⁴ has undertaken.

 当我由衷感谢收件人所付出的努力时，我常常用这个。

 

Thanks so much

I also like this and use it, especially when someone -- a colleague, a source, someone with whom I have a business relationship -- has put time and effort into a task or email.

 我也喜欢而且会用这个，尤其是当某人——同事、人脉资源、跟我有业务关系的人——花时间和精力完成任务和邮件时，我会用这个。

 

Thanks for your consideration.

A tad stilted⁵ with a note of servility, this can work in the business context, though it's almost asking for a rejection⁶. Steer⁷ clear of this when writing a note related to seeking employment.

 有点生硬带点屈从，尽管它几乎是寻求排斥，但是在商业邮件中它很有用。当你写就业相关的邮件时，避免使用它。

 

Thx

I predict this will gain in popularity as our emails become more like texts.

 随着我们的邮件变得更像文本，我猜想这个会越来越受欢迎。

 

Hope this helps

I like this in an email where you are trying to help the recipient.

 在试图帮助收件人的邮件中我喜欢这个。

 

Looking forward

I use this too. I think it's gracious and warm, and shows you are eager to meet with the recipient.

 我也用这个。我认为它很亲切、暖心，并且显得你很渴望见到收件人。

 

Rushing

This works when you really are rushing. It expresses humility⁸ and regard for the recipient.

 当你赶时间时这个很有用。它表达了你的谦卑和对收件人的尊重。

 

In haste

Also good when you don't have time to proofread⁹.

 当你没有时间校对时用这个也蛮好。
