Ah! Bless! 啊！上帝保佑！

There's quite a range of explanations using 'bless' in English, all originally from the religious use of the word.

'Bless you! ' somebody says after a sneeze.

'Ah! Bless my soul! ' - a rather older fashioned one.

'Bless you! '

An interesting one is, 'Bless your heart! ' used mainly by adults talking down - 'Ah! Bless your heart! ' - to a child.

And in the 1990s, this remarkable use, the verb by itself, usually preceded by the interjection, 'Ah! ' - 'Ah! Bless! ' - that sort of use.

Notice the tone of voice there.

I heard it when a little child had a cat snuggling up to her and the parent said, 'Ah! Bless! '

And then the child hurt her finger, 'Ah! Bless! '

People at the zoo, looking at penguins, 'Ah! Bless! Isn't it sweet! '
