Good luck 是什么意思?祝福也可能带着嘲讽

Good luck 是祝你好运。但一句看似热情的祝福,也可能在说“你就做梦吧”:语气和后面的小尾巴,怎样把意思反过来?

Good luck 用于在别人即将面对考试、面试、搬家或演出等挑战前祝愿顺利。要说明祝什么事顺利,可接 with 加名词,或直接接 -ing:Good luck with your exam、Good luck finding a job。这个表达语气中性,可以对朋友、同事说,也可以写进邮件。

开始学习

Good luck with + noun; Good luck + -ing; wish somebody luck; Good luck! → Thanks!

  • Good luck with your presentation tomorrow! I'm sure the clients will love it.
  • 'I'm flying to Seoul for my first business trip.' 'Good luck! Send me a photo when you land.'
  • Good luck finding a flat near the university. They go really fast in September.

修改原因

修改前My driving test is at nine tomorrow. Wish me a luck!

修改后My driving test is at nine tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Luck 与 advice、news 一样,是不可数名词,前面不加 a:good luck、wish me luck、with any luck。只有另加表示量的词时才出现 a,例如 a bit of luck、a stroke of luck。

Cambridge Dictionary

带着嘲讽语气说 Good luck with that!,可能表示不相信对方能成功:'I'm going to learn Chinese in a month.' 'Good luck with that!'。要避免祝福被听成挖苦,可以补上一句真诚的鼓励:Good luck, you'll be great!

动手练习

My friend has a job interview tomorrow, so I texted her, '___! Let me know how it goes.'

(Good luck / Well done)

查看答案

Good luck — 朋友明天才面试,你还请她之后告诉你结果,所以应先祝好运:Good luck。Well done 是对已经完成的好表现表示赞赏,但这里面试还没开始。

给即将面对重要事情的朋友或同事写一条消息。说明是什么事、什么时候进行,并用 good luck 送上祝福。

Good luck with the marathon on Sunday, Sasha! I'll be waiting for you at the finish line.
