There are many researches on complaints in the past, but less attention was given to the responses of complaints. Be-sides, researches on moderating responses are largely related with conflicts and neglect researches on the moderating responses for negative language behaviors such as complaints, orders and threats. Therefore, with "Home with Kids" as the corpus, based on Spencer-Oatey's rapport management theory, the language implementations and pragmatic references of moderating re-sponses in family complaints are explored in this paper.%以往对抱怨语的研究不在少数,但是抱怨回应语却未得到足够的关注。另外,缓和性回应语的研究大多与冲突联系起来,忽略了对负面言语行为如抱怨、命令、威胁等的缓和性回应的研究。因此,本文以《家有儿女》为语料,基于Spencer-Oatey (2000)的“和谐管理理论”(rapport man-agement theory),探究家庭抱怨中的缓和性回应的语言实现方式及语用理据。
