1. Oh, I can only speak a few words of French. I’m no good at languages.
2. Oh, stop fishing for compliments Fred – we know you can speak five languages!
3. So ‘fishing for compliments’ is about trying to get someone to say something good about you.
译文：
1. 哦，我只会说一点点法语，我对语言不精通。
2. 哦，不要捞赞美了，弗雷德 – 我们知道你可以说5种语言。
3. ‘fishing for compliments’ 是指极力想让别人说你好话。
no good at = not good at，[非正式口语] 对……不精通
compliment = 赞美，恭维
fishing for compliment = 原意是‘钓取赞美’，故意要别人说赞美的话 [接近‘沽名钓誉’，但没那么过分，多用于平时臭美一下]
口语练习：
She’s always fishing for compliments about her looks.
[她总是渴望别人称赞她的相貌。]
Stop asking me if you look OK. You’re just fishing for compliments.
[别再问我你看上去是不是还好，你不过是想让我说好话罢了.]
