英语聊天时请避免踩这四个雷！

　　在与他人闲聊时，我们常常会评论他人的外表，可有时说出的话却违背我们的初衷，造成不必要的误会，那可真叫哑巴吃黄连，有苦说不出啊。下面，我们就来总结一些关于他人外表不该说的话吧!

　　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.

　　不要说"You look tired."(你看上去很累。)

　　这句话暗示了她看上去状况不佳。

　　我们可以说"Is everything OK?"(你一切还好吗?)我们会脱口而出"tired"这个词是因为感觉到对方有些消沉，所以直接问原因吧。

　　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。

　　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?"

　　不要说"Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!"(哇塞，你减掉了N多斤啊!)

　　对一个刚恢复苗条的人来说，这句话给她的感觉是自己从前看上去很糟糕。想学习更多英语知识，请关注口袋英语aikoudaiyy

　　我们可以说"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变苗条的，那就加上一句"What's your secret?"(有啥秘诀呀?)

　　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."

　　不要说"You look good for your age."(以你的年纪来说，你看上不错啊。)

　　任何像这样带有告诫意味的话语都是粗鲁的。这就是在说：“跟其他老家伙比起来，你看上去不错。你那口牙竟然一颗没掉，太令人惊讶了。”

　　我们应该直接说"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."

　　不要说"I could never wear that."(我可不会穿那样的衣服。)

　　这话可以被误解为批评：“那衣服太丑了，我才不要穿。”

　　我们应该说"You look so good in skinny jeans."(你穿紧身牛仔裤很漂亮。)假如你不小心说漏了嘴，那就这么圆回来"I could never wear that...because I wasn't blessed with your long legs."(我是穿不了那裤子……因为我没你那样修长的腿哎。)
