Whatever the situation, there is a proper way to acknowledge praise, commendation, or admiration. 无论是什么状况，有一种合适的方式来承认表扬、赞美和羡慕。

Make eye contact. Acknowledging a compliment is a perfect time to connect with someone. 眼神交流。承认是恭维时，这是最好的时机和别人交流。

Look the person in the eye when you respond. Doing so communicates sincerity and self-confidence. 当他做出反应时，看着他的眼睛。真诚和自信的沟通。

Say, “Thank you.” A sincere, unhurried ‘thank you’ along with a smile and eye contact is more often than not all that is necessary. 说,"谢谢你。"时，不仅是一个真诚的从容不迫的"谢谢你"，面带微笑和眼神交流都是必要的。

Don’t explain anything. If you feel moved, you can follow your ‘thank you’ with something positive. 不要做任何解释。如果你被感动到了，你要跟随着你的内心去做一些积极向上的事。

Doing so communicates desirable character traits such as friendliness and positivity. 这样的交流有友善和积极的特征。

Caution: If you can’t keep it brief and will be tempted to explain or rationalize your action or accomplishment, leave it at a simple ‘thank you.’ 警告：如果你不能保持简单的解释或理顺你的行动和成就,就留下简单的一句话“谢谢你。”

Here’s how it might sound if Mary and Bill put this advice into practice: 如果迈瑞和比尔把建议付诸行动，听起来会是这样的：

“Have you lost weight, Mary? You look terrific!” “你在减肥吗?迈瑞，你看起来很好!”

Thanks, Barb. I feel great, too. 谢谢，巴布，我也感觉很好。

“I’m really happy with the way you handled yourself on that call, Bill.” “比尔，我对你这样的做法很满意。”

Thank you, Jim. I appreciate the feedback. 谢谢你，吉姆。我对你的回答表示赞美。

Quite a difference, wouldn’t you say? My challenge for you today is three-fold: 完全不同的效果，你会说吗?我对你的挑战是这三个：

1. Listen for compliments given to others as you go about your business over the next week. 1.你下周做你自己的事时，去听别人的赞美。

How many times do you hear people rejecting or ignoring a compliment they receive? 你听到多少次人们的对赞美的拒绝或者是当收到赞美时不去理会?

2. Give more compliments than you normally would. Notice the responses people give. 2.给别人的赞美远远超过自己，注意一下别人会给你怎样的回复。

3. Finally, put today’s advice into practice the very next time you receive a compliment. 3.最后，把今天的建议付诸到适当的时间，你会收到赞美的。

And remember,acknowledging a compliment paid is a simple, yet very effective way to make a positive impression and build a favorable reputation. 承认赞美是一种简单的支付，这是一种有效的途径给人留下美好的印象并建立一个好的声望。
