　　Conversation A

　　Ruby sees her classmate Tony walking up the street toward her.

　　Ruby: Hey, Tony. Are you all right? You look really tired.

　　Tony: Gee, thanks, Ruby. You really know how to make a guy feel good.

　　Ruby: What? I’m just being honest.

　　Tony: I’ll let you in on a little secret.1 If somebody looks tired, they know it.

　　Ruby: Oh, right. I guess they don’t need to hear it from other people.

　　Conversation B

　　Tony: Why not give me a compliment2 instead?3 That would make me feel good.

　　Ruby: All right. I really like your haircut.4 But . . .

　　Tony: No buts! Again, you were just about to say something that was going to make me feel bad!

　　Ruby: What’s wrong with saying what I really think?

　　Tony: My mother always says,“If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

赞美别人心情佳(1)

　　翻译

　　鲁比看见同班同学托尼在街上朝她走来。

　　鲁比：嗨，托尼。你没事吧？你看起来真的很累。

　　托尼：哎呀，多谢啦，鲁比。你真是晓得怎样使人心情好呀。

　　鲁比：什么？我只是在说实话。

　　托尼：我告诉你一个小秘密吧。如果某个人看起来很累，他们自己是清楚的(意思是不用别人提醒)。

　　鲁比：噢，好吧。我想他们并不需要从别人那里听到这话。

　　托尼：为什么不改为给我一番称赞呢？那会让我心情好的。

　　鲁比：好吧。我真的很喜欢你的发型。可是……

　　托尼：别说可是！你刚刚差一点又要说些会让我心情不好的话！

　　鲁比：我说出我的真实想法有什么错吗？

　　托尼：我妈妈总说：“要是你说不出什么好听的话，就压根儿别开口。”

　　Sentence_4u

　　let sb. in on sth.“把某事透露给某人；让某人参与某事”，例如：

　　A: Jeff is asking a lot of questions about the trip.

　　B: Maybe we should let him in on our plans.

　　A:杰夫就这趟旅行问了许多问题。

　　B:也许我们应该让他参与我们的计划。
