喜樂美語
  1. 1祝福;保佑(宗教用語);「Bless you!」是打噴嚏後說的口語習慣用語

    To ask for God's protection or favor over someone or something, often said in prayer or at a religious ceremony. In everyday talk, English speakers say 'Bless you!' right after someone sneezes - it's just a polite little habit, not really religious anymore. 'Blessed' (the adjective) means lucky or fortunate, as in 'I feel blessed to have such good friends.'

    bless 的本義是求神保護、賜福給某人或某物，常見於祈禱或宗教儀式。

    日常口語裡，有人打完噴嚏，旁邊的人常會說「Bless you!」。這只是一種有禮貌的小習慣，已經沒有太多宗教意味。它的形容詞 blessed 則表示幸運，例如「I feel blessed to have such good friends.」，這裡只是順帶一提。
