美国青少年最常说的流行词汇：props

props

　　2 props

　　Dis的反义词。Props 意思是尊重，它是proper respect 的简略形式。青少年常用props 这个词来恭维某人或者某人的作为，要注意的是刚才学的dis通常当动词，而props却是名词。

　　例如：I really have to give you a lot of props. No one could have done a better job with this assignment. Our professor has to be more than impressed. You'll get an A for sure I think.

　　我可真佩服你。这个作业谁也不可能比你做得更出色的了。我们那位教授一定大为赞赏。我肯定你将得到A。

　　句中的give you a lot of props 意思是非常佩服你。

　　又如：I sure want to give you props for speaking up at the meeting. A lot of people felt the same way, but were too scared to say anything. You were the only one brave enough to speak you mind.

　　我可真敬佩你在会上大胆执言。好多人虽然有同感却吓得不敢开口。只有你勇敢地把心里话说出来。

　　句中的give you props意思是敬佩你，说话的人对他朋友的仗义执言表示敬佩。
