They are one of the most beautiful things in the whole world.

它們是整個世界上最美麗的事物之一。

I love complimenting people, but I hate receiving them.

我喜歡讚美別人，但我討厭接受別人的讚美。

How do I respond?

我該如何應對？

How do I say thank you in the best way possible without getting all awkward and shy?

如何用最好的方式說謝謝，而不至於尷尬害羞？

Well, let's find out today.

好吧，今天我們就來看看。

Hello, It's me, your mate Elliott from E.

你好，是我，你的朋友Elliott從E。

英文。

And I'm here to help you with responding to compliments with the correct intonation, with the correct pronunciation on with the correct words.

而我就是來幫助你用正確的語氣，用正確的發音，用正確的詞語來回應讚美的。

Compliments are amazing.

誇獎是驚人的。

As I said, I think it's very important that we complement people.

正如我所說，我認為我們補人是非常重要的。

If we're thinking something about someone and it's something great, something beautiful, something amazing, we should say it because people deserve to hear it.

如果我們在想一個人的事情，而且是偉大的事情，美麗的事情，驚人的事情，我們應該說出來，因為人們值得聽。

We deserve to make people happy.

我們理應讓人們快樂。

But we do have to understand that sometimes when people give us compliments or we give people compliments, they're quite difficult to respond to unless you're really, really confident person.

但是我們要明白，有時候當別人給我們讚美或者我們給別人讚美的時候，除非你是一個非常非常自信的人，否則他們是很難迴應的。

Now, most of the time, people who are studying English are not the most confident people in the world.

現在學英語的人，大多不是世界上最自信的人。

The reason why is because, well, you're studying English.

原因就是因為，你是學英語的。

You're using a different language, and sometimes you don't have the right words or the right intonation to use.

你使用的語言不一樣，有時候你用的詞不對，語氣也不對。

So don't worry, I understand.

所以不用擔心，我明白。

And if I gave you a compliment on you, maybe gave me the wrong answer or said it in the wrong way, I'd know why on most natives do.

如果我對你讚美，也許給了我錯誤的答案，或者說錯了話，我會知道為什麼在大多數本地人做。

But let's try and convince them that we are the experts.

但我們要試著讓他們相信我們是專家。

So let's say somebody says to you, Oh, I love your haircut.

所以我們說有人對你說，哦，我喜歡你的髮型。

Okay, that's a really nice compliment.

好吧，這是一個非常好的恭維。

Someone likes your haircut.

有人喜歡你的髮型。

Fantastic.

妙不可言

How do you respond?

你如何應對？

Just say thank you.

就說謝謝你。

Now we are going to get into more detail and give you a few more options.

現在我們要詳細介紹一下，給大家多一些選擇。

But if you're ever worried, say thank you, but it's not as easy as that.

但是，如果你曾經擔心過，就說聲謝謝吧，但不是那麼簡單。

How do you use intonation to sound like you really mean it?

如何用語氣聽起來像真的一樣？

It's quite tricky on this is a problem 90% of my students have when they first joined my course, because they don't realize how important it actually is for natives, particularly British natives, to use Internation to create an effect on the create.

這一點是相當棘手的，是我90%的學生在剛加入我的課程時都會遇到的問題，因為他們沒有意識到對於本地人，尤其是英國本地人來說，使用Internation來創造效果的創造其實是多麼重要。

The effects that we're trying to create here when somebody compliments us is a thankful, grateful emotional tone on this tone.

當有人誇獎我們的時候，我們在這裡要營造的效果是在這個語氣上的一種感謝、感恩的情感語氣。

The best tone I would say to use would be a rising tone, which falls back down.

我說最好的音調應該是上升音，下降音。

A rise for or up, down tone.

漲為或漲，跌為調。

You might want to call it.

你可能想叫它。

Call it whatever you want, but the sound essentially, let's say we're saying Thank you.

隨你怎麼叫，但這聲音本質上，我們就說是在說謝謝。

Thank you.

謝謝你了

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

Thank you.

謝謝你了

We're going up and then we're falling back down.

我們在往上走，然後又往下掉。

The reason why we're doing this is because it's a tone which shows effort.

之所以要這麼做，是因為這是一種能體現努力的語氣。

Is it home?

是家嗎？

Which shows emotion.

這顯示了情感。

We use it for good things, for bad things to sound friendly, to sound approachable.

我們用它來做好事，做壞事，聽起來很友好，聽起來很親切。

So try an experiment with that tone when people are giving you compliments.

所以，當別人給你讚美的時候，可以試著用這種語氣做個實驗。

Same with the word.

同樣的字。

Thanks.

謝謝你

Thanks.

謝謝你

Thanks.

謝謝你

Up, Down.

上，下。

Thanks.

謝謝你

It really, really does show that we're thankful.

真的，真的能看出我們的感恩之心。

So please experiment with that tone and try and sing it in the right way.

所以請你用這個音來做實驗，並嘗試用正確的方式來唱。

If you can't pronounce the sounds, well, then you need to practice the sounds first, for example, that a sound in thanks.

如果你不會發音，那麼，你就需要先練音，比如說，那個一個音在謝謝。

I have so many students again who joined my course and they pronounced the act in thanks as air and it becomes thanks or thanks like an American.

我又有那麼多學生參加了我的課程，他們把thanks中的行為念成了air，就變成了像美國人一樣的thanks或thanks。

This is simply because they're raising the tongue too high in the mouth and it's becoming an air like in Elliot.

這只是因為他們把舌頭在嘴裡抬得太高了，就變成了像艾略特中的空氣。

But We need to keep the tongue down on open it.

但我們需要把舌頭放下來打開它。

Nice.

很好啊

The mouth nice and wide and it becomes an A thanks.

口好寬，就成了A謝謝。

Thanks.

謝謝你

You'd be surprised.

你會驚訝的。

It's one of the most common words, but it's actually really difficult for many non natives to pronounce a zwelling thinking about the Internation and things like that.

這是最常見的單詞之一，但其實對於很多非本地人來說，想到Internation之類的東西，要念出一個zwelling真的很難。

Let's say I love your T shirt.

就說我喜歡你的T恤吧。

Thanks.

謝謝你

Thanks.

謝謝你

What if we don't want to just always say the word?

如果我們不想總是隻說這個詞呢？

Thanks.

謝謝你

Well, we know from my previous lessons, we could say Cheers again.

好了，從我以前的教訓中我們知道，我們可以再說一次乾杯。

Same tone.

同樣的語氣。

Cheers.

乾杯。

Cheers.

乾杯。

And now we've said thank you in, um, or informal way.

現在我們已經說了謝謝，嗯，或非正式的方式。

But what if we want to say mawr?

但如果我們想說 "莫爾 "呢？

What if we want to compliment the person back?

如果我們想反過來誇獎對方呢？

Well, my best advice, if you want to compliment someone back, is don't just return the favor.

好吧，我最好的建議是，如果你想回敬別人，就不要隨便回敬。

You know, if somebody says I love your glasses and let's say they're wearing glasses to don't say, Oh, thanks.

你知道，如果有人說我喜歡你的眼鏡，讓我們說他們戴著眼鏡，不要說，哦，謝謝。

I like yours, too.

我也喜歡你的。

But now it is okay to do that.

但現在可以這樣做了。

Don't worry, it's fine.

別擔心，沒事的。

No one cares that much.

沒人在乎那麼多。

But if you want to show like you've made more effort, maybe just say thanks.

但如果你想表現出你已經做了更多的努力，也許只是說謝謝。

You're so kind.

你真好

That's really nice of you.

你真好

thanks or thanks.

謝謝還是謝謝。

It means a lot.

這意味著很多。

So what we're doing there is We're adding something onto the thanks.

所以我們現在要做的是 我們要在感謝上加點東西。

We're complimenting them back, complimenting their personality and saying You're really kind or that's really nice of you.

我們反過來誇獎他們，誇獎他們的人格，說你真好，或者你真好。

Okay, we're saying that What?

好吧，我們說的是什麼？

That's what they've done.

這就是他們所做的。

That effort is really nice on.

這個努力真的很好上。

We appreciate it.

我們很感激。

You could even say thanks.

你甚至可以說謝謝。

I appreciate it.

我很感激你

So I always do that.

所以我總是這樣做。

If somebody compliments me, I try to add that in and say, You know, it means a lot or I appreciate it or something like that.

如果有人誇獎我，我就會試著加上一句，你知道，這意味著很多，或者我很感激之類的話。

It does help Make sure you're using this up down tone on the important words Toe ADM.

它確實有幫助 確保你在重要的詞上使用這種上下級的語氣 Toe ADM。

Or Emotion and Mawr effect to the words you're saying now.

或者說情感和毛爾效應到你現在說的話。

One more thing.

還有一件事

Let's say we want to start a conversation with this person they've complimented us on.

比方說，我們想和這個被他們誇獎過的人開始對話。

We're worried about what to say next, but we want to keep talking to them.

我們擔心接下來該怎麼說，但我們想繼續和他們說話。

Now is the time you could return the favor, but with a question.

現在是你可以回報的時候了，但有個問題。

So, for example, let's go with T shirt.

所以，比如說，我們就用T桖。

Somebody says, Oh, hey, I love your T shirt.

Where did you get it?

Now?

現在？

Firstly, I'm using a falling tone on Where did you get it?

首先，我用的是落音，你從哪裡弄來的？

Because this is what we call an open question.

因為這就是我們所說的開放性問題。

Where did you get it?

你從哪裡弄來的？

Now, when we use a falling tone on a question most of the time, that's that falling tone is to show that it's an open question, not a yes, no question.

現在，當我們在一個問題上使用落語氣時，大多數情況下，就是那個落語氣是為了表明這是一個開放性的問題，而不是一個是，不是問題。
