hello everyone and welcome back to
english with lucy today we are going to
look at the phrases
good luck and congratulations
and i'm going to show you lots of better
more interesting alternatives
to further help you with your studies
and understanding
i have created a free pdf worksheet that
goes with this lesson
if you would like to download that just
click on the link in the description box
enter your first name and your email
address
you sign up to my mailing list and i
will send the pdf
directly to your inbox very exciting
it also includes a quiz i know
you will love quizzes first let's take a
look
at good luck this is a very good phrase
but
it's boring if we repeat it over and
over again
the first alternative is all the best
or i wish you all the best and this is
not a direct
translation of good luck we usually use
this phrase when we are saying goodbye
to somebody
or we are parting ways especially
at the end of a letter or email all the
best
or i wish you all the best means i hope
you succeed
good luck
number two is break a leg
break a leg i wonder if you've heard of
this one before
it's very popular because it sounds
so strange and almost a little rude
where does that come from
it is supposed that it was said to
actors
before they went on stage because it was
considered
unlucky to wish them luck so
if you wish somebody bad luck like
breaking a leg
supposedly the opposite will occur
they'll have
good luck and their legs will remain
intact
[Music]
number three is a phrase that i use a
lot
in a different context i'll explain it
to you it is
blow them away blow them away
now if somebody is blown away it means
they are
shocked normally in a positive way
i was blown away by all of your lovely
messages for example
so if your friend is going to an
interview or an audition
and you want to wish them luck you can
say blow them away and that means
shock and surprise them in a positive
way
like most things it all depends on tone
of voice so if i say i was
blown away by the amount of litter in
the park
obviously i'm shocked in a negative way
i'm not impressed
number four we have knock him dead and
you have to do the fist movement it is
obligatory
knock him dead um in this case
is them knock them dead
knock him dead the meaning is very
similar
to that of blow them away to knock
somebody dead is to really impress them
again it depends on the context if you
hit someone with a car
and you knock them dead well
that's not very good at all
number five is a very common phrase that
i think also exists in many other
languages
it is fingers crossed fingers crossed
i've crossed my fingers for you i'm
hoping for the best
so when we cross our fingers it means we
are wishing luck for either
ourselves or other people is that the
same in your language or is it something
different please let me know in the
comments i love
knowing about the little quirks of all
your languages
number six just a very slight variation
on good luck we have
best of luck best of luck and this is a
shortened version of i wish you the best
of luck
but in casual speech we just go straight
in for
best of luck
another very similar one is number seven
which is
wishing you the best or i wish you the
best
number eight another similar one all the
best to you
all the best to you i wish you the best
number nine is possibly my favorite
go get em tiger the uh the rare
hands are optional but recommended
this is very informal very slang and it
just means
go and do it i know you can go and
impress them
and the last one number 10 you got this
now it should be
you've got this but sometimes we remove
the
at the end of you and just say you got
this
you got this obviously if you're writing
it
down put you've got this
so there we have it 10 very nice
alternatives for
good luck let's move on to alternatives
better alternatives for congratulations
there are a few more of this one there
are many alternatives i have
19 for you and i'm going to check your
understanding
in the quiz in the pdf so make sure you
pay attention
number one is my respects and if you
offer somebody your respects
in a positive way it means that they
have impressed you
now if you say my respects to you in a
solemn
or serious voice it could mean
that something bad has happened to that
person and you are offering them
your condolences but in a positive tone
of voice
my respect is wow you've impressed me
number two is hats off hats off to you
this comes from taking your hat off to
somebody and if you take your hat off to
somebody
it means that you are impressed with
them and you respect them
so if somebody has achieved something
amazing you can say hats off to you
that's fantastic
number three is a word just one word
but i absolutely love it it is
sensational
amazing sensational we have a very very
posh friend
and he got completely addicted to the
word
sensational you know when you have a
word a new word in your head and you
find yourself using it
at every opportunity or his word was
sensational sensational sensational
today was sensational but used in the
right context
sensational can mean congratulations
number four is one that my mother uses
quite a lot
it is get in there
often shortened down to get in
you have to do the fist okay yes you can
use it to congratulate other people or
also yourself
if you hear that you've won a prize you
can say
get in there get in yes
very very informal
number five is more of an american
phrase we don't use it
as much in british english and i will
show you why
it is you rock and that means
you are awesome and in american english
it sounds so cool
i grew up watching american tv shows all
the time
they always used to say you rock but in
british english in my accent
it doesn't sound cool at all you rock
there are so many phrases that i i just
think they sound ridiculous when i say
them
go get em tiger
the next one however is very british
very british and it's it's rising again
people are starting to use it more and
with good reason i love it
it is good show or
jolly good show it's quite posh jolly
the word jolly
means kind of very or extremely jolly on
its own means happy or cheerful but we
can use it instead of
very or really jolly good show
means really well done well done you
congratulations
number seven feels slightly more
american to me it's nice going
nice going it translates to you've done
well
very well
number eight is good for you or
good on you be careful with your tone of
voice
here because if you say oh good for you
that can sound extremely sarcastic so if
somebody has something
that you want and you say oh good for
you it's kind of saying
you get everything i want that but if
you say it with real
meaning and heart good for you well done
it means i'm really really happy for you
number nine is very similar it is well
done you
well done you you've probably heard well
done
on its own but for extra emphasis well
done you that's really really great
number 10 beautifully casual nice one
nice one well done nice one that
translates to
good job yeah nice one
number 11 is so simple but i love it it
is you did it
you did it congratulations i think
that's what my mother said to me when
she found out that i had got
a high score for my university degree
she said you did it
it's a really nice way of saying
congratulations
number 12 is lovely if somebody does
something
really clever really intelligent you can
say
you're a genius you are a genius
number 13 is way to go way to go
now this is another one that sounds
slightly more american to me
i'm not sure about australia and canada
and places like that
if you're watching please let me know we
don't say as much
in the uk but it's still a really nice
one
way to go very well done
number 14 is great for
self-congratulation
as well as congratulating others it is
pat on the back it's quite popular
nowadays if you yourself do something
well
then you can say oh well done me
pat on the back if you pat someone on
the back it means
well done
15 is a really nice one quite casual oh
you made that look easy
if somebody's done a performance or has
been in an interview and has performed
really well
you can say well you made that look easy
that was amazing congratulations
number 16 is one that i use all the time
especially with my students if i see
that they've been performing really
really well
then i say keep up the good work it
means you've done
so well until now continue to do well
because you're on track for success
number 17 is nothing can stop you now
you are on a roll to be on a roll means
to have a continued period of success
or good luck
number 18 is a relatively new one it is
you're
on fire you are on fire if i speak to a
fellow youtuber
and i say your channel is on fire at the
moment it means it's doing so well
congratulations or
you're on fire you're doing so well
again
context and tone of voice is everything
if i tell someone
you're on fire it means that they should
seek water
asap as soon as possible
i've saved the best one till last it is
number 19
and it is congratu expletive
latiance so we insert a swear word
or an expletive between congratu
and lations for example congratulations
that's amazing
god that's so fun to say congratulations
now i don't teach swear words on my
channel so you're going to have to
search those up for yourself google is
your friend

{{
[音乐] 大家好，欢迎今天和 lucy 一起回到英语，我们将看一下祝你好运和祝贺这些短语，我将向你展示许多更好更有趣的替代方案，以进一步帮助你学习和理解我有 创建了一个与本课程配套的免费 pdf 工作表，如果您想下载，只需单击说明框中的链接输入您的名字和电子邮件地址您注册到我的邮件列表，我会将 pdf 直接发送到您的 收件箱非常令人兴奋它还包括一个测验我知道你会喜欢测验首先让我们来看看祝你好运这是一个非常好的短语但是如果我们一遍又一遍地重复它会很无聊第一个替代方案是最好的或者我希望你 祝你好运，这不是祝你好运的直接翻译 我们通常在向某人道别或分道扬镳时使用这句话，尤其是在一封信或电子邮件的结尾 st 或我祝你一切顺利意味着我希望你成功 祝你好运 第二是断腿 据说这是在演员上台之前对他们说的，因为祝他们好运被认为是不吉利的，所以如果你希望某人运气不好，比如摔断腿，据说相反的情况会发生，他们会有好运，他们的 腿将保持完整 [音乐] 第三是一个短语，我在不同的上下文中使用了很多我会向你解释它是吹走他们现在如果有人被吹走，这意味着他们通常会在一个 积极的方式 例如，我被你所有可爱的信息所震撼，所以如果你的朋友要去面试或试镜，你想祝他们好运，你可以说把他们吹走，这意味着以积极的方式震惊和惊喜他们 喜欢 大多数事情这一切都取决于语气，所以如果我说我被公园里的垃圾数量吓坏了，显然我会以负面的方式感到震惊，我没有印象第四，我们已经把他打死了，你必须 做拳头动作是必须的，把他敲死 嗯，在这种情况下，他们把他们敲死，把他敲死，意思和把他们吹走把某人敲死的意思非常相似，是为了再次给他们留下深刻的印象。这取决于你的语境 用车撞到某人，然后你把他们撞死了 这一点都不是很好 第五是一个非常常见的短语，我认为它也存在于许多其他语言中 希望是最好的，所以当我们交叉手指时，这意味着我们希望自己或其他人好运，在您的语言中是相同的还是不同的东西，请在评论中告诉我我喜欢了解所有人的小怪癖 是的 我们的第六种语言
只是
祝你好运的一个非常轻微的变化我们
祝你好运祝你好运，这
是我祝你好运的缩写版本，
但在随便的演讲中，我们只是直接
进入
祝你好运
另一个非常相似的 一个是七号
，
祝你一切顺利，或者我希望你最好
的八号另一个类似的，祝你一切
顺利，祝你一切顺利，我祝你最好的九号可能是我最喜欢的，去买老虎吧，呃，稀有的
手是可选的，但建议
这是非常非正式的俚语，它
只是意味着
去做，我知道你可以去
打动他们
，最后一个数字 10 你现在得到了
它应该是
你得到了这个，但有时我们会删除
在你最后，只是说你明白
了，如果你把它写
下来，你就明白
了 还有几个这个
有很多选择我有
19个给你我将
在pdf的测验中检查你的理解所以请确保你
注意第一是我的尊重如果你
向某人表达你的
尊重 一种积极的方式，这意味着他们
现在给你留下了深刻的印象
如果你用庄严或严肃的声音向你表达我的敬意，
这可能意味着
那个人发生了不好的事情
，你正在向
他们表示哀悼，但用积极的语气
我的 尊重是哇，你给我留下了深刻的印象
第二是向
你脱帽致敬这来自向
某人脱帽，如果你向某人脱帽，
这意味着你对他们印象
深刻并且你尊重他们
所以如果有人 取得了
令人惊奇的成就，您可以向您致敬，
这太棒
了第三个词只是一个词，
但我绝对喜欢它，这
太棒了太棒了太棒了，我们有一个非常
时髦的朋友
，他得到了完全的认可 提到耸人听闻的
词，
你知道当你有一个
词时，你的脑海中有一个新词，你
发现自己
利用每一个机会或他的词是
耸人听闻的耸人听闻的
今天是耸人听闻的，但在
正确的上下文中使用
耸人听闻的可能意味着祝贺
第四号是 我妈妈经常用的
一个，
它
经常被缩短
进去 你必须握拳 好的 是的，你可以
用它来祝贺别人
或你自己
如果你听说你赢得了奖，你
可以 说
get in there get in yes
非常非常非正式的
数字 5 更像是一个美国
短语，
我们在英式英语中不常用它，我会
告诉你为什么
它是你摇滚，这意味着
你很棒，在美式英语中
它 听起来很酷，
我从小就看美国电视节目长大，
他们总是说你摇滚，但
在我的口音中用英式英语
听起来一点也不酷，你摇滚
有很多短语，我只是
认为他们 当我说他们去买老虎时听起来很荒谬
但是下一个非常英式
非常英式而且它正在再次上升
人们开始更多地使用它并且
有充分的理由我喜欢它
这是一个很好的表演或
快乐的表演它是非常豪华的快乐
jolly 这个词的
意思是一种非常或非常快乐，
它本身意味着快乐或快乐，但我们
可以用它来代替
非常或非常快乐 good show
意味着做得很好，干得好，祝贺你，
七号
对我来说感觉有点美国化，
很好 去它意味着你做得
很好
非常好数字八对你
有好处或对你有好处要小心你的语气，
因为如果你说哦，对你有好处
，这听起来非常讽刺，所以如果
有人
有你想要的东西 你说哦，对你有好处，
这有点像说
你得到了我想要的一切，但如果
你用真正的
意思和真心说这对你有好处，
那就意味着我真的很高兴
你第九 非常相似，
干得
好，干得好，你可能听说过
干得好
，但为了特别强调
干得好，你真的很棒，
数字 10 漂亮休闲 不错 一个
不错 一个干得好 很好 一个可以
翻译成
干得好 是的 不错
11 号非常简单，但我喜欢
它是你做到的，
你做到了，恭喜我，我想
这是我妈妈在
发现
我的大学学位获得高分时对我
说的，她说你做到
了 一个非常好的表达
祝贺
的方式 12 是可爱的如果有人做了
一些
非常聪明的事情 非常聪明 你可以
说
你是一个天才 你是一个
天才 13 是很长的路要走
现在这是另一个听起来
稍微有点美国的方法 对我来说，
我不确定澳大利亚和加拿大之类的
地方，
如果你在看，请告诉我，我们
在英国没有说太多，但这仍然是一个非常好的
方法，可以做得很好
14 号是 非常适合
自己 lf-
congratulation 和 congratulation others it is
pat on back 它现在很流行
如果你自己做某事
那么你可以说哦，干得好我
拍拍背 如果你拍拍别人
的背，这
意味着干得好
15 是 真的很好，很随意哦
，
如果有人表演过
或参加过采访并且表现
非常好，
你可以让这看起来很容易，你可以说很好，你让这看起来很容易
，这太棒了祝贺
第 16 号是我一直使用的
特别是对我的学生来说，如果我
看到他们的表现
非常好，
那么我会说保持良好的工作，这
意味着你一直
做得很好，直到现在继续做得很好，
因为你已经走上了成功的轨道
第 17 号没什么 可以阻止你现在
你正在上路 上路
意味着持续成功
或好运
18 号是一个相对较新的
，如果我和一位 youtuber 同事交谈，你着火了，你着火了
我说你的陈 nel 现在着火了，
这意味着它做得很好，
恭喜
你，
或者
你着火了
尽快
我把最好的保存到最后，它是
第 19 号
，它是恭喜你的脏话，
所以我们
在 congratu 和 lations 之间插入一个脏话或脏话
，例如恭喜你
太棒了
，现在说恭喜很有趣
我不会在我的频道上教脏话，
所以你必须
自己搜索这些 google 是
你的朋友，
