Dont say: ;You look tired.; Why: It implies she doesnt look good. Instead say: ;Is everything OK?; We often blurt the ;tired; comment when we get the sense that the other person feels out of sorts. So just ask. 不要说;You look tired.;(你看上去很累。)，这句话暗示了她看上去状况不佳。我们可以说;Is everything OK?;(你一切还好吗?)我们会脱口而出;tired;这个词是因为感觉到对方有些消沉，所以直接问原因吧。 *out of sorts 身体不适，心情不佳 Dont say: ;Wow, youve lost a ton of weight!; Why: To a newly trim person, it might give the impression that she used to look unattractive. Instead say: ;You look fantastic.; And leave it at that. If youre curious about how she got so svelte, add, ;Whats your secret?; 不要说;Wow, youve lost a ton of weight!;(哇塞，你减掉了N多斤啊!)，对一个刚恢复苗条的人来说，这句话给她的感觉是自己从前看上去很糟糕。我们可以说;You look fantastic.;(你看上去真棒。)，并且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何变苗条的，那就加上一句;Whats your secret?;(有啥秘诀呀?) Dont say: ;You look good for your age.; Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. Its saying, ;You look great―compared with other old people. Its amazing you have all your own teeth.; |
