peer agreement (net): +2| ?朸恖岲 be nice to Explanation: It would be unusual in English to say someone is "kind" to his girlfriend...sounds as if she is his servant and he deigns to be kind to her. cf the common phrase "he's kind to animals." It's not always true, but quite often being kind implies that the person being kind has more power in the situation.Being "nice" doesn't...you can be "nice" to your boss even though he's just fired you, for example. |
