 每个人都期望得到他人的认可和赞美,但收到夸奖时如何给出礼貌恰当回应也很重要。今天的节目Jenny和Adam就来给你支支招。


Compliment 1
表示“夸赞”最常用的词是compliment和praise。
Praise: 赞美
Compliment: 称赞。
Compliment可以作为动词直接接人使用:compliment someone(称赞某人),但日常生活中更常见的说法是:Give someone a compliment(称赞某人)。
另外,还有一种口语化的表达:
Say nice things about you: 说好听的,赞美
对于那些暗示别人,期待获得赞美的行为,我们可以用fishing这个词:
Fishing for compliments 2: 企图获得赞美
When she showed me her new dress, I could tell that she was fishing for a compliment. 当她给我展示新裙子时,我就知道她希望我夸她。
Everyday
在北美,最常听到的一句赞美语:
You look nice today. 你今天很漂亮。
你可以在表示感谢后,同样夸奖对方:
Thanks! You don't look so bad yourself. 谢谢!你也很漂亮。
这里用到了双重否定的句式,so可以用来加强程度,减少负面的语意,注意不要漏掉哦。
Thanks! So do you. 谢谢!你也是。注意不能说成so are you。
“You also look nice”听起来比较生硬,native speakers很少会这样说,不如前面的说法自然地道。
Your English is really good!
作为英语学习者,可能会面对的一种情况是对方夸你英语说得很好,这时你可以回答:
Thanks. Still a long way to go. 谢谢,还有很长的路要走(学海无涯)。
表示好不容易才学会的:
Thanks. I worked really hard on it. / I've been working hard.谢谢,我很努力地学习了。
解释英语好的原因:
Thanks. I studied in... 谢谢,我曾经在…学习。
Work
工作上,老板可能会称赞你
Good job! / Nice job! 做得好!
可以这样谦逊地回复:
Thanks. I couldn't have done it without…(my team / your support…)谢谢,多亏了团队的帮助/您的支持。
中文里经常会说“这是我应该做的”,但英语里不会说this is something I should do?,你可以这样体现自己的责任心:
Thanks. All in a day's work.谢谢,这是我分内的事。
特定地,在service industry(服务行业)经常会听到这句:
Thanks. That's what I'm here for. 谢谢,这是我应该做的。
General reply
最后,介绍一下适用于各种场合,比较通用的说法:
That's nice of you to say. 你太好了,这样夸我
That's so sweet of you. 你太好了。
That's so kind of you to say. 你真是太好了,这样夸我。
比较活泼、非正式的:
You flatter 3 me. 你过奖了。
女生更常用的:
You are such a sweet talker. 你真会说话。

n.[pl.]问候,致意;n./v. 称赞,恭维
  • The manager paid her a compliment on her work.经理赞扬了她的工作。
  • Your presence is a great compliment.承蒙光临,不胜荣幸。
n.问候,道贺,致意;赞美(话)( compliment的名词复数 );向…送礼以表示敬意;问候;致意v.表扬,恭维( compliment的第三人称单数 )
  • He ladles out compliments to everyone, but he's not really sincere. 他见人就大加吹捧,但并非出于诚意。 来自《简明英汉词典》
  • You pay her a few compliments and she immediately rises above herself. 你只要稍许赞扬她几句,她即会沾沾自喜。 来自《简明英汉词典》
v.向...谄媚,奉承,使高兴,使感到荣幸
  • We flatter ourselves that we provide the best service in town.我们相信我们提供的服务在本市最好。
  • It turns my stomach to hear him flatter.听到他拍马屁,我实在感到讨厌。
