“I never thought you had so much iron in you.”
我没想到你骨子里这么硬。
把骨气说成 iron,一句半惊半赞的评语,比 direct praise 更有分量。
I never thought you had so much ... in you.
佩服别人扛住压力时用;说出来是夸,但别对刚认识的人用。
I did not know you had that much steel in you. / There is more fight in you than I thought.
口语
iron 重读,in you 轻收,never thought 连读。
I never thought you had so much iron in you, facing that board alone. 你一个人面对整个董事会,我没想到你这么硬气。
