Dis的反義詞。Props 意思是尊重,它是proper respect 的簡略形式。青少年常用props 這個詞來恭維某人或者某人的作為,要注意的是剛才學的dis通常當動詞,而props卻是名詞。
例如:I really have to give you a lot of props. No one could have done a better job with this assignment. Our professor has to be more than impressed. You'll get an A for sure I think.
我可真佩服你。這個作業誰也不可能比你做得更出色的了。我們那位教授一定大為贊賞。我肯定你將得到A.
句中的give you a lot of props 意思是非常佩服你。
又如:I sure want to give you props for speaking up at the meeting. A lot of people felt the same way, but were too scared to say anything. You were the only one brave enough to speak you mind.
我可真敬佩你在會上大膽執言。好多人雖然有同感卻嚇得不敢開口。只有你勇敢地把心里話說出來。
句中的give you props意思是敬佩你,說話的人對他朋友的仗義執言表示敬佩。
