称赞与夸奖
基本词汇:

look 看上去;显得
beautiful好看,漂亮
主要句型:

情景会话:
A: Hi, Mr. Smith. How are you?
嗨,史密斯先生,你好啊。
B: Very well. Thank you. Oh, you look beautiful today.
很好,谢谢。啊,你今天真漂亮。
A: Thank you very much.
非常感谢。
用法说明:
西方文化崇尚称赞与夸奖,与中国文化中的谦虚形成强烈的对比。西方文化把称赞与夸奖看成日常生活和人际交往中的必需。当一个人得到另一个人的称赞时,通常的反应是表示感谢,我们在与西方人交往时,听到称赞和夸奖应注意作出恰当回答。
在中国,对待别人的称赞,通常我们会说“别这样说,怪不好意思的”之类的话; 而在英语文化中,听到别人称赞,要用Thank you very much.来作答。注意不要说 “No, not at all.” “不,不是这样”,或者说“哪里,哪里。”
在西方文化中,还可以当着对方丈夫的面来夸奖他的妻子长的漂亮,因为西方文化把对女性的赞扬视为一种礼节,所以,当遇到这种情况时,被称赞的一方,也应该落落大方的Thank you very much.来回答。
补充情景对话:
A: You look smart today.
您今天看上去气色很好。
B: Thank you. I had a good rest
谢谢, 我好好休息了一下。
A: You have a very clever son.
您的儿子很聪明。
B: Thank you.
谢谢。
替换练习:
