Compliments 恭維話(huà)
"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(卑鄙的), 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!"
“拉里，你過(guò)來(lái)!”媽媽放下電話(huà)后生氣地說(shuō)，“我剛才接到哈里森夫人地電話(huà)，她告訴我你在昨晚的`學(xué)校舞會(huì)上對(duì)多麗絲行為不好，你可恥，粗魯!”
“媽媽?zhuān)覍?duì)她很好，真的!”小伙子不服氣地說(shuō)。“當(dāng)我和她跳舞時(shí)我還說(shuō)了一句恭維她的話(huà)。”
“你真的這么做的嗎?”媽媽嚴(yán)厲地問(wèn)。“你的原話(huà)是怎么說(shuō)的?”
“我說(shuō)，啊呀，多麗絲，你比跟我跳過(guò)舞的任何胖姑娘出汗都少!”
