    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.
    不要說;You look tired.;(你看上去很累。),這句話暗示了她看上去狀況不佳。我們可以說;Is everything OK?;(你一切還好嗎?)我們會脫口而出;tired;這個詞是因為感覺到對方有些消沉,所以直接問原因吧。
    *out of sorts 身體不適,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?;
    不要說;Wow, youve lost a ton of weight!;(哇塞,你減掉了N多斤啊!),對一個剛恢復(fù)苗條的人來說,這句話給她的感覺是自己從前看上去很糟糕。我們可以說;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變苗條的,那就加上一句;Whats your secret?;(有啥秘訣呀?)
    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.;
    Instead say: ;You look great.;
    不要說;You look good for your age.;(以你的年紀(jì)來說,你看上不錯啊。)任何像這樣帶有告誡意味的話語都是粗魯?shù)摹_@就是在說:跟其他老家伙比起來,你看上去不錯。你那口牙竟然一顆沒掉,太令人驚訝了。我們應(yīng)該直接說;You look great.;(你看上去很棒。)
    Dont say: ;I could never wear that.;
    Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. (;I could never wear that because its so ugly.;)
    Instead say: ;You look so good in skinny jeans.; If you slip, say something like ;I could never wear that...because I wasnt blessed with your long legs.;
    不要說;I could never wear that.;(我是穿不了那褲子。)這話可以被誤解為批評:那褲子太丑了,我才不要穿。我們應(yīng)該說;You look so good in skinny jeans.;(你穿緊身牛仔褲很漂亮。)假如你不小心說漏了嘴,那就這么圓回來;I could never wear that...because I wasnt blessed with your long legs.;(我是穿不了那褲子……因為我沒你那樣修長的腿哎。)
