世博单词日记【70】Tough love 严厉的爱

Tough love
严厉的爱

【世博精解】

我们时常说父亲的爱是比较严厉的爱，用英语表达就是“tough love”。

Tough love means care and concern which is expressed by encouraging a person to make an effort and to take responsibility for his or her behavior rather than simply by sympathy and indulgence.

严厉的爱（以激励人上进、勇于对自己的行为负责等方式表达的爱与关心，而非仅仅对其怜悯和纵容）。
