"A backhanded compliment"是指似褒实贬,含有挖苦意味的恭维语.

Ronald has lost his title as the strongest man in the world.He's now congratulating the man who won...but as you can see he's giving him a
backhanded compliment .This is a remark that sounds like a compliment butit's said sarcastically."Well done.I should have done better,"the exchampion said,offering a backhanded compliment.

Now the matter of my emigration to Canada becomes a bee in my bonnet.I'm sure there will be a bed of thorns along my road to Canada.But whatever I should have a try first,I am not such kind of person who always blames his tools,maybe if I fail to it I will get a backhanded compliment. But I will not regret to do it after all I have a try and I enjoy the process too.

I used to write" immigrate to Canada", now I think it should be " emigrate to Canada".

Avtually I am a chip off the old block too. To some extent.I really resemble my mother in characteristics.
