對(duì)失戀或單身朋友不該說(shuō)的話(huà)

Don't say: "You were too good for him."
不要說(shuō)"You were too good for him."(他配不上你。)

Why: You are basically saying she has bad taste. And you'll be embarrassed if they ever patch it up.
因?yàn)檫@樣說(shuō)的話(huà)你本質(zhì)上是指她的品味太差,而且萬(wàn)一他們言歸于好了你豈不是很尷尬?

Instead say: "His loss!" It gets the same point across without disparaging her judgment.
可以說(shuō)"His loss!"(那是他的損失。┻@樣既沒(méi)有貶低她的判斷能力,又達(dá)到了同樣的效果。

Don't say: "I'm glad you got rid of him. I never liked him anyway."
不要說(shuō)"I'm glad you got rid of him. I never liked him anyway."(我真高興你甩了他。我從來(lái)就沒(méi)喜歡過(guò)他。)

Why: She'll wonder about your fake adoration for him while they were together.
那樣她會(huì)懷疑,他倆還在一起的時(shí)候你不過(guò)是假惺惺地稱(chēng)贊她男友。

Instead say: "I'm confident you'll find someone who will give you exactly what you want." It focuses on what's to come, not on the dud you're glad she's done with.
可以說(shuō)"I'm confident you'll find someone who will give you exactly what you want."(我相信你會(huì)找到稱(chēng)心如意之人的。)這話(huà)著重于將來(lái)會(huì)如何,而不是那段失意的過(guò)去。

Don't say: "How could someone as perfect as you still be single?"
不要說(shuō)"How could someone as perfect as you still be single?"(像你這樣十全十美的人,怎么還會(huì)是單身呢?)

Why: A statement like this comes off as a backhanded compliment. What she hears is "What's wrong with you?"
這感覺(jué)像是句諷刺挖苦的恭維話(huà),在她聽(tīng)來(lái)你是問(wèn)"What's wrong with you?"(你哪里不對(duì)勁?)

Instead say: "Seeing anyone?" If she's tight-lipped about her love life, move on to other topics.
可以說(shuō)"Seeing anyone?"(有沒(méi)有約會(huì)?)如果她對(duì)自己的戀愛(ài)問(wèn)題守口如瓶,那就轉(zhuǎn)移話(huà)題吧。
