短释义：
“Resembling a compliment” is one way to define the word complimentary, when you use it in the sense of giving praise. A second meaning of complimentary is “free.” If your hotel includes breakfast with the price of your room, they may call it a complimentary breakfast. It’s easy to get complimentary confused with complementary, which sounds exactly the same but means “filling in or completing.”
如果您说的是免费的话，例如“奶奶，那朵塑料花看起来很漂亮”，那么您就是讨人喜欢，赞美或欣赏某人。

当您在赞美的意义上使用它时，“类似于称赞”是一种定义免费词的方式。免费的第二个含义是“自由”。如果您的酒店包括房间价格的早餐，他们可能会称其为免费早餐。很容易与互补混淆，这听起来完全相同，但意味着“填写或完成”。
