恭维之词 compliments
（William is practicing plate spinning）
Hogan: You’re really something else! How do you make it look so easy?
William: Just relax and open your mind. Give it a try.
You’re really something else! 你可真是歌别的什么东西呀！如果有人这么对你说，你可千万别生气，以为人家在骂你。实际上，这是一句赞扬的话。表示你真了不起，你好棒呀！所以下次如果想夸别人的话，不妨用这句话试试：You’re really something else!另外美语中有很多种类似的夸人的句子，比如说：You’re one in a million! 意思是你可真是百里挑一啊！

(Dr. Weird is riding a unicycle)
Hogan: You’re out of sight!
Dr. Weird: Give it a shot.
Hogan: This is harder than it looks!
你知道眼下在美国年轻人中间流行怎样赞扬别人吗？You are out of sight! 你都看不见了？不要误会，这句话的意思是说你很出众，你好棒呀！和 You’re really great!表达的意思是一样的。是不是挺不好琢磨的？看来东西方文化差异着实挺大！如果你帮别人一个忙，你也会听到别人这么谢你：You’re great!你这人真不错！但是在说这句话的时候要注意自己的语气，否则的话，会让别人感到你在讽刺他呢！

(Miss ABC is juggling 9 balls)
Hogan: You rule! Where did you learn how to do that?
Miss ABC: My dad was in the circus.
如果你很cool,你的朋友就会冲你说：You rule!什么意思？意思很简单：你很棒！You’re the ruler! You rule!一个国家的统治者cool 不cool? 当然cool了，所以若有人对你这么说，你就可以坚信自己确实出类拔萃，无人能比了！ The cream of crop的意思就是出类拔萃. 一般来说，老外也并不总是当着你的面赞扬你：You rule！他们也会在和朋友聊天的时候说：That guy rules! He’s the cream of the crop! 那个家伙了不起。

Some note:
There’s common saying that goes You catch more files with honey than you do with vinegar. And so it is the whole world round that if you’re nice to people. Things will be better off than if you’re not nice to them. A compliment can turn a stranger into an acquaintance. And an acquaintance into a friend. It can make a very nervous situation relaxing. So the reasons for giving compliments between the West and the East are pretty much the same. But how you receive the compliments can be very different sometimes. In the West, if someone gives you a compliment that you feel you didn’t do much to earn or that it really doesn’t deserve a compliment, then you can try to refuse it. “your English is so good!” “Oh, it’s not that good, I still need to study more”But if they continue to give you compliments, or if it’s something that you fell you worked very hard to achieve, then you can just say, Thank you very much. Oh, your English has improved so much. Thank you very much. I practice everyday by wanting yanghualianpian.
