【发音技巧】don’t give完全失去爆破；give it连读；
【翻译】别在意，没事的。/没关系的。
【适用场合】
所以今天我们就是要学这个表达：
Don’t give it another thought.

有些同学可能，会根据字面意思，猜测这个短语表达：别再想这个事情了。
Don’t think about it.
其实完全不是。

当别人道歉说sorry之后，你为了宽慰他们，可以说这句话Don’t give it another thought.
to tell sb. not to worry after they have said they are sorry

总而言之，就是一种非常礼貌接受别人道歉的表达。
A polite way of accepting someone's apology.

eg: You should not give it another thought. No one was bothered at all.
你不用在意的。完全没有人受到影响。/你丝毫没有给别人添麻烦的。

在日常生活中，类似的场合下，大家也可以说：
Think nothing of it.
Don’t give it a second thought.
意思都是一样的。

eg: -- I hope I didn't hurt your feelings when I said you were too loud.
-- Don't give it a second thought. I was too loud.
-- 我刚说你声音太大了，希望没有让你难受。
-- 没事的，我刚才确实声音太大了。

稍微注意下，当中的Think nothing of it. 也可以用于别人感谢你的时候。
eg: -- Thank you so much for driving me home.
-- Think nothing of it.
-- 谢谢你载我回家。
-- 不客气。
