英語聊天中要回避的四大雷區

在與他人閒聊時，我們常常會評論他人的外表，可有時說出的話卻違揹我們的初衷，造成不必要的誤會，那可真叫啞巴吃黃連，有苦說不出啊。下面，我們就來總結一些關於他人外表不該說的話吧！

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"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"這個詞是因爲感覺到對方有些消沉，所以直接問原因吧。

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。一個讓你臉紅的微信：vipwyqh，臉紅也得加額！

Instead say: "You look fantastic." And leave it at you're curious about how she got so svelte, add, "What's your secret?"

不要說"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"(哇塞，你減掉了N多斤啊！)

對一個剛恢復苗條的人來說，這句話給她的感覺是自己從前看上去很糟糕。想學習更多英語知識，請關注口袋英語aikoudaiyy

我們可以說"You look fantastic."(你看上去真棒。)，並且就此打住。如果你想知道她是如何變苗條的，那就加上一句"What's your secret?"(有啥祕訣呀？)

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"You look good for your age."(以你的年紀來說，你看上不錯啊。)

任何像這樣帶有告誡意味的話語都是粗魯的。這就是在說：“跟其他老傢伙比起來，你看上去不錯。你那口牙竟然一顆沒掉，太令人驚訝了。”

我們應該直接說"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 use I wasn't blessed with your long legs."

不要說"I could never wear that."(我可不會穿那樣的衣服。)

這話可以被誤解爲批評：“那衣服太醜了，我纔不要穿。”

我們應該說"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，那就這麼圓回來"I could never wear use I wasn't blessed with your long legs."(我是穿不了那褲子……因爲我沒你那樣修長的腿哎。)
