“I never thought you had so much iron in you.”
我沒想到你骨子裡這麼硬。
把骨氣說成 iron,一句半驚半讚的評語,比 direct praise 更有分量。
I never thought you had so much ... in you.
佩服別人扛住壓力時用;說出來是誇,但別對剛認識的人用。
I did not know you had that much steel in you. / There is more fight in you than I thought.
口語
iron 重讀,in you 輕收,never thought 連讀。
I never thought you had so much iron in you, facing that board alone. 你一個人面對整個董事會,我沒想到你這麼硬氣。
