Complimentary and Complementary

此兩字為形容詞,字型類似但字義卻相差甚多:
1. Complimentary意近於free of charge,常指附贈的 (服務或商品),如加入某健身中心
的會員及享有附贈免費的置物櫃:
If you sign up for the membership, you will have a complimentary locker.

2. Complementary通常指互補性質得的,尤其在描述特徵、風格、功能時,如描述朋友的搭配
得宜的衣著可說:
She looks stunning in her gown with that complementary brooch.

Stunning: 豔光四設(Adj.) Brooch: 胸針(n.)
