I am broke. My girlfriend left me. I can't find a job. Life sucks!
我破產了。和女朋友掰了,又找不到工作。生活就是悲劇啊!
Come on, cheer up!Something good is just around the corner.
振作點!希望就在不遠處!
重點講解:
Don't be so sad.
Come on, cheer up!
肯定的話語可以給人以積極的心理暗示。因此,當他人沮喪時說Don't be so sad.效果可能適得其反,對方會潛意識地集中在sad這個消極詞上。相反Cheer up!這樣積極振奮的話語則像一束陽光一樣,直接投射進對方的心靈。老外可能還會說Buck up!
