praise · 语义深度解析

核心

公开表达认可和赞美——让对方知道你觉得他们做得好

praise 来自古法语 preisier（赞美，珍视）。核心：「对某人的成就、行为或品质表示赞扬和认可」。用法：① 动词 praise sb. for sth.（因某事称赞某人）；② 名词（receive praise 受到称赞）。与 compliment 的区别：praise 更正式，通常指真诚的、较重要的认可；compliment 更轻松，指日常礼貌性赞美（compliment sb. on their dress 称赞某人的衣服）。

释义

1

v.称赞，赞扬（对某人的表现或品质表示认可）

The principal praised the students for their outstanding contribution to the community service project.

校长称赞了学生们对社区服务项目的杰出贡献。

2

n.称赞，赞美（名词）

The author received widespread praise for her debut novel, which was described as both moving and thought-provoking.

这位作者的处女作获得了广泛赞誉，被誉为感人且发人深省。

语感

praise = 把好评说出来——不是心里觉得好，而是表达出来让对方听到

称赞赞美表扬

praise sb. for doing sth.（因做某事称赞某人）是最常用结构。be full of praise for（对……赞不绝口）是固定短语。注意：sing the praises of（极力赞扬）是习语。形容词 praiseworthy（值得称赞的）有时出现在阅读中。高考写作多用 praise 代替简单的 say good things about 或 speak highly of（后者更书面）。

陷阱

⚠️praise vs. compliment：真诚重要的赞美 vs. 日常礼貌性赞美

He complimented her on the presentation she gave at the conference.

✗

praise 和 compliment 完全相同

✓

praise 更正式，指对重要成就或品质的认可；compliment 更日常，指礼貌性赞美（compliment sb. on sth.）

他称赞了她在会议上所做的演讲。（日常礼貌赞美 → compliment；若是重大成就则用 praise）
