主持人 Neil 保证一定会给佳莹买生日礼物，但佳莹却半信半疑，为什么她总把 “promises（承诺，保证）” 这个词挂在嘴边？听两个人的对话，学习一个用来表示不相信某人承诺的地道英语说法。

Jiaying大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。With you, Neil…

Neil… and you, Jiaying. And today, Jiaying, as it’s your birthday, I’m going to make the coffee…

JiayingBut…

NeilNo, I insist. And I’m going to buy the biscuits – not the cheap ones this time…

Jiaying真的吗？Hmm, promises, promises!

NeilThat’s right – two promises – make the coffee and buy nice biscuits – it is your birthday after all.

JiayingWhen I said ‘promises, promises’, I was being sarcastic!

NeilOh!

Jiaying当我们连着说 “promises, promises” 的时候，意思是某人 “只会信口开河地作出保证”，以讽刺地表达不相信这个人承诺的事情。不好意思，Neil，我刚才是用 “promises, promises” 来表示不相信你会给我买咖啡和饼干。Let’s hear some examples…

ExamplesPromises, promises! The plumber said he’d be here at 8am – but he isn’t.

A: Next time, I will remember to bring some money to pay for dinner.B: Promises, promises!

My boyfriend says he’ll take me to Venice for a mini break. Promises, promises!

Jiaying你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我们在介绍表达 “promises, promises”，用来讽刺地说某人 “信口开河地作出保证”，表达不相信这个人许下的承诺。So, Neil, what about this coffee and biscuits you’re getting – are they ready yet?

NeilWell, I haven’t got much time at the moment, and I need to borrow some money to buy the biscuits.

JiayingLike I said, promises, promises! But it doesn’t matter, I’ve been trying to tell you that it’s not my birthday today.

NeilOh! Why didn’t you say! Well, when it is your birthday, I will make the coffee and buy the biscuits.

JiayingNot the cheap ones?

NeilNo, the expensive ones. I promise!

JiayingReally?

NeilYep, I never break a promise.

JiayingOK, Neil. I believe you. Bye for now.

NeilBye!
