Compliment－恭维话
|
Compliment "Larry! Come here!" said his furious mother, putting the telephone down, " I’ve just had a call from Mrs. Harrison about your behavior to her Doris at the school dance last night. You wretched, rude boy!" "I was nice to her, Mum, really I was!" protested the youth. "I even paid her a compliment when we had a dance." "Did you, indeed?" said his mother grimly, "And what exactly did you say?" "I said, Gosh, Doris, you sweat less than any fat girl I’ve ever danced with!" 恭维话 “拉里，你过来！”妈妈放下电话后生气地说，“我刚才接到哈里森夫人地电话，她告诉我你在昨晚的学校舞会上对多丽丝行为不好，你可耻，粗鲁！” “妈妈，我对她很好，真的！”小伙子不服气地说。“当我和她跳舞时我还说了一句恭维她的话。” “你真的这么做的吗？”妈妈严厉地问。“你的原话是怎么说的？” “我说，啊呀，多丽丝，你比我跳过舞的任何胖姑娘出汗都少！” NOTE wretch n. 不幸的人；潦倒的人 grimly adv. 严格地, 可怕地, 冷酷地 sweat [swet] n. 汗，汗珠 Sweat poured down his face as he ran. 他跑步时汗水从他脸上淌下来。 |
