complimentary 是一個形容詞,主要有兩層核心含義:
免費的;贈送的: 這是該詞最常見的意思,指某物或服務無需支付費用即可獲得,通常是作為禮物、優惠或額外福利提供的。例如,酒店可能會提供“complimentary breakfast”(免費早餐),航空公司可能贈送“complimentary drinks”(免費飲料),商家可能附贈“complimentary gift”(贈品)。這裡的核心在于“無需付費”和“額外饋贈”的性質。根據《牛津英語詞典》,這個詞義源于“compliment”的古義“禮貌性行為或表達”,後引申為表示好意的饋贈,即免費提供。
贊美的;恭維的: 這層含義與名詞“compliment”(稱贊、恭維)直接相關。當用來形容言語、評論、态度或行為時,表示表達欽佩、贊美或敬意。例如,“He made several complimentary remarks about her presentation”(他對她的演講說了幾句贊美的話),或者“The review was highly complimentary”(這篇評論充滿了溢美之詞)。劍橋詞典指出,這個詞義直接來源于“compliment”,用于描述表達贊美或敬意的言行。
詞源與關聯: “Complimentary” 源自名詞 “compliment”。值得注意的是,“compliment” 和 “complement”(補充物)雖然發音相同,但詞源和含義不同。“Compliment” 來源于拉丁語 “complimentum”,與 “complere”(完成、履行)有關,最初指完成某種禮儀或義務的行為,後來演變為表示禮貌的贊美之詞。而 “complement” 則源于拉丁語 “complementum”,意指“填補使之完整的東西”。因此,“complimentary” 與表達贊美或提供免費饋贈(作為一種禮貌或好意)相關,與表示“補充”的 “complementary” 需要區分開。詞源學研究清晰地展示了這一演變路徑。
