There was once a dog that used to run up quietly behind people and bite their heels.
以前，有只狗经常悄悄地紧跟在人的后面跑，咬人的脚后跟。

Fed up with the numerous complaints, the owner tied a bell around the dog’s neck so that the sound of the bell would alert people whenever the dog came near them.
狗的主人受不了人们不间断的抱怨，于是在狗的脖子上系上了一个铃铛，这样一来，当狗靠近人们的时候，铃铛的响声就会引起人们的警惕。

The dog felt the bell was a reward of some sort and became extremely conceited, turning up his nose whenever he met the other dogs on the street.
这条狗以为铃铛是某种奖励，变得越发自负，在街上看到其他狗的时候他都嗤之以鼻。

One day a hound brought him down to earth with some plain speaking and when the dog learnt why the bell had been put around his neck he slunk away in shame.
一天，一条猎犬清楚地告诉了他真相，这让狗一下子回到现实中。得知为什么他的脖子上系有铃铛后，他羞愧地溜走了。

Moral: Sometimes what appears to be a pat on the back is actually a slap on the face.
寓意：有时候，一些东西看起来是一种表扬，实际上是一种批评。

小小赞美能滋润他人一整天的心情，而你，也能从中受益。何乐而不为呢？

Negative observations about reality are plentiful. Positive observations are much less common. Compliments are underused and underrated and are often forgotten amongst gossip, negative self-talk and complaints about the boss, the job, the weather and milk prices.
我们常听到对现实的消极态度。积极的心态只是偶尔出现。人们不是运用不足，就是低估忽略，常常在闲言闲语，消极自省，恭维上司，谈及工作，天气，牛奶价格中彻底忘记赞美这回事。

So, here are five compelling reasons why it's a good choice to use more genuine compliments in your day to day life.
这里就提供五个绝妙理由，让你知道在日常生活中经常真诚赞美他人的好处。

You can make someone's day. That's a nice thing to do.
你能让别人感到开心。这是件好事。

Increased positivity. Keeping your focus on the positive parts in people expands your own positivity. You'll notice more positive things about yourself, your own life and other things in your surroundings. What you focus on in your everyday life you'll see everywhere, not just in other people.
提高积极指数。把自己的注意力集中在他人积极的方面，可增加自己的积极心理。你会更多地看到自己，你的生活和你环境中好的东西。因为你在日常生活中所注意的东西，也会在所有地方出现，不只是在他人身上。

You get what you give. Don't keep this in the forefront of your mind while giving a compliment. It may make the compliment seem insincere and like you are just out to get something from the other person. But still, people often have a strong feeling of wanting to give what they got. Perhaps not right away, but over time reciprocity and a positive relationship can build. And in general, what you give you tend to get back from the world around you.
收获你所付出的。在给予赞美时，脑海里不要一直想着要得到回报。那可能会让你的赞美失去真诚，让你看起来像是别有用心。但是话说回来，人们被赞美时，通常有一种强烈的欲望，想付出他们拥有的东西。或许不是立刻生效，但是时间可以增强互惠互利的关系。而且通常来讲，你付出什么，世界就回报你什么。

Attractiveness. Positivity, appreciation and being able to genuinely express yourself are three attractive traits both in personal and professional relationships. People tend to want to hang around and work with people that have such traits.
吸引力。积极，赏识，真诚的自我表达能力是人际关系和职场上三个富有魅力的品质。人们通常愿意跟这种人交往或者工作。

It's fun. When you give a genuine compliment you ignite a spark of happy feelings inside of yourself.
这很有趣。当你做出一个真诚的赞美时，一种快乐在你心里油然而生。
