Compliment 和Complement读音一样，都是[ˈkɔmplimənt]，但意义完全不同。如何区分这两个极其相似的单词呢？
1. compliment[ˈkɔmplimənt]
(n.) (means praise or an expression of courtesy 敬意，赞美的话); to compliment (v.) (to make a compliment; to praise 恭维，夸奖；)
Example（例句）:
- My boyfriend gave me a nice compliment about the new hairstyle.
- A true compliment comes from the giver’s heart and impacts the receiver’s heart.
- He complimented the staff for their work in obtaining the funds.
2. complement [ˈkɔmplimənt]
(n.) (something that supplements; a worthy addition 补充，增强); to complement (v.) (the act of achieving completion or perfection 补充，增强，增加，补足)
Example（例句）:
- This diet is a perfect complement to Yoga exercise.
- My brother and sister-in-law complement each other very well.
区分两个单词很简单，complement来源于complete (完全的，完整的)，当然complement就是为了“完整、完美”而“补充，增强”。知道了这一点，就再也不会混淆这两个单词了。
