Don't say: "You look tired."

Why: It implies she doesn't 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(shuō)"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(shuō)"Is everything OK?"（你一切還好嗎？）我們會(huì)脫口而出"tired"這個(gè)詞是因?yàn)楦杏X(jué)到對(duì)方有些消沉，所以直接問(wèn)原因吧。

*out of sorts 身體不適，心情不佳

Don't say: "Wow, you've 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 you're curious about how she got so svelte, add, "What's your secret?"

不要說(shuō)"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"（哇塞，你減掉了N多斤啊！），對(duì)一個(gè)剛恢復(fù)苗條的人來(lái)說(shuō)，這句話給她的感覺(jué)是自己從前看上去很糟糕。我們可以說(shuō)"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"What's your secret?"（有啥秘訣呀？）

Don't say: "You look good for your age."

Why: Anything with a caveat like this is rude. It's saying, "You look great―compared with other old people. It's amazing you have all your own teeth."

Instead say: "You look great."

不要說(shuō)"You look good for your age."（以你的年紀(jì)來(lái)說(shuō)，你看上不錯(cuò)啊。）任何像這樣帶有告誡意味的話語(yǔ)都是粗魯?shù)摹＿@就是在說(shuō)：“跟其他老家伙比起來(lái)，你看上去不錯(cuò)。你那口牙竟然一顆沒(méi)掉，太令人驚訝了。我們應(yīng)該直接說(shuō)"You look great."（你看上去很棒。）

Don't say: "I could never wear that."

Why: It can be misunderstood as a criticism. ("I could never wear that because it's so ugly.")

Instead say: "You look so good in skinny jeans." If you slip, say something like "I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."

不要說(shuō)"I could never wear that."（我是穿不了那褲子。）這話可以被誤解為批評(píng)：“那褲子太丑了，我才不要穿。我們應(yīng)該說(shuō)"You look so good in skinny jeans."（你穿緊身牛仔褲很漂亮。）假如你不小心說(shuō)漏了嘴，那就這么圓回來(lái)"I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."（我是穿不了那褲子……因?yàn)槲覜](méi)你那樣修長(zhǎng)的腿哎。）
