3分鐘學(xué)英語(yǔ) [318]:外國(guó)人說Good for you,真不是“為了你好”的意思

情景對(duì)話：

- I was hoping to impress her by tracking her down on the Internet and then showing up unannounced at her door.
- Making the extra effort. Good for you.

知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解：

1、祝賀別人
比如有人終于找到了工作
或是朋友在比賽中獲得好成績(jī)

【例句一】
A: I finally found a job.
我終于找到了工作。
B: Good for you! I'm so happy for you.
太棒了，我真為你高興。

【例句二】
A: I won first place in the tournament.
我比賽得了第一名。
B: Good for you! What was the prize?
太棒了，你得了什么獎(jiǎng)啊?

2、贊許別人的行為
正面積極的贊許

【例句一】
A: I finally left Tara.
我終于離開了Tara。
B: Good for you! She always treated you badly.
做得好，她一直都對(duì)你不好。

【例句二】
A: Well, I was able to track down the owner of that lost watch and I returned it.
哦，我終于找到了那塊表的失主，把表還給他了。
B: Good for you! Even though you could've gotten a lot for it, you did the right thing.
做得好!雖然你可以把那個(gè)表賣很多錢，但是你做的是對(duì)的。

 

 

3、表示諷刺或不在乎別人的成就
可以表示敷衍，非正面積極的回答

【例句一】
A: It took me over 4 hours, but I finally beat the last level.
花了四個(gè)小時(shí)，但是我終于打通這一關(guān)了。
B: Oh, good for you.
哦，好吧。

繼續(xù)對(duì)話：
A: Sarah is getting married, again.
Sarah又一次結(jié)婚了。
B: Good for her. Is that her third one?
哦，不錯(cuò)哦。這是她第三次結(jié)婚了吧?

Tip：在使用good for you表達(dá)時(shí)，
除了語(yǔ)境，你的語(yǔ)氣也很重要喲~
