Ask & Learn聞問切英語口語:誘人的想法
讀者 Iris 寄來下面一段文字：
To build your self-respect... do something worthy of your respect. To like yourself better... do something that makes you likable. It's tempting to think that support and encouragement come from other people.
Iris 問"It's tempting to think" 是什么意思？
Tempting 字典上的解釋是「誘人的」，一個想法又怎樣具誘惑呢？
我們可以這樣理解：面對問題時，我們可能有多種解決方法，大部分人會舍難取易，選擇較容易的解決途徑，我們就可以用 tempting 來形容這種情況。但平坦大道不一定是正確的路徑，所以 tempting 背后的含義，就是指根據(jù)這種想法而作出的選擇其實是錯誤的。
舉例說，有人指喝紅酒有助心臟健康，我們可以說：
It's tempting to think that drinking red wine alone will give you a healthy heart. The truth is that you have to pay attention to your diet and exercise regularly as well.
