本次我们来辨别2个单词，它们分别是：
- complement
- complimentary
小司机经常搞混这两个单词，特意拿来辨析下。
第1个单词：complement
美音：/ˈkɑːmplɪment/，英音：/ˈkɒmplɪment/
含义：v. 补充，补足
网络含义：补集
英文短含义：A complement is something that makes up a satisfying whole with something else. Those shiny red shoes you just bought complement your shiny red purse./
互补品是与其他事物构成令人满意的整体的事物。你刚买的那些闪亮的红色鞋子与你闪亮的红色钱包相得益彰。
英文长含义：Complement comes from the Latin complementum, “something that fills up or completes.” Complement keeps both the e and the meaning. It’s also a verb; if you and your partner complement each other, you make a perfect pair. Something that complements completes or adds a little something.
补语来自拉丁语 complementum，“充满或完成的东西”。补语保留 e 和意义。它也是一个动词；如果你和你的伴侣互补，你们就是完美的一对。补充的东西完成或增加了一些东西。
例句1：He once compared his trials to those of Job. complement/compliment.
他曾将自己的试炼与约伯的试炼相提并论。补充/称赞。
– from Woe Is I
例句2：In their home ecosystems these species have, like all living things, a full complement of parasites, microbes, viruses, and insect predators to shorten and immiserate their lives.
在它们的家园生态系统中，与所有生物一样，这些物种拥有完整的寄生虫、微生物、病毒和昆虫捕食者，以缩短它们的寿命并使它们陷入困境。
– from 1491
例句3：To complement is to complete, to round out, or to bring to perfection; a complement is something that completes or makes whole.
补充是完成、圆满或达到完美；补语是完成或构成整体的东西。
– from Woe Is I
第2个单词：complimentary
美音：/ˌkɑːmplɪˈmentri/，英音：/ˌkɒmplɪˈmentri/
含义：adj. 赞美的，表示钦佩的；免费赠送的
网络含义：免费赠送
英文短含义：If you say something complimentary, like “Grandma, that plastic flower looks so pretty in your hair,” you are flattering, praising or admiring someone./
如果你说一些赞美的话，比如“奶奶，你头发上的那朵塑料花看起来真漂亮”，你就是在奉承、赞美或钦佩某人。
英文长含义：”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.”
当您在给予赞美的意义上使用它时，“类似于赞美”是定义赞美这个词的一种方式。 complimentary 的第二个意思是“免费”。如果您的酒店在房价中包含早餐，他们可能会称其为免费早餐。很容易将 complimentary 与 complementary 混淆，这两个词听起来完全一样，但意思是“填充或完成”。
例句1：I loved writing, and he was really complimentary about it.
我喜欢写作，他对此非常赞赏。
– from Auggie & Me
例句2：He walks outside to the popcorn machine on the sidewalk where he’ll be handing out complimentary bags of popcorn.
他走到外面人行道上的爆米花机前，他将在那里分发免费的爆米花袋。
– from Dumplin’
例句3：Check-in takes place at the lobby bar and comes with a complimentary cocktail called “Got Moxy.”
