英語口語練習小對話 第86期:發誓保證

迷你對話：

A:Jenny, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep weeping like that?

Jenny，你怎麼啦？你爲什麼一直這樣哭泣。

B:Mary told me that she had seen you with John last night. I got to know the fact that you are playing the field.

Mary說她昨天看到你跟Joan約會，我終於知道你是個花心大蘿蔔了。

A:Honey,cross my heart, I'v never looked at another woman since the first day I set my eyes on you! Believe me, that's the truth.

寶貝兒，我向你發誓，自從見到你以後，我就在沒有對別的女人多看過一樣，這可是千真萬確的呀。

地道表達：

cross one's heart

解詞釋義：

改習語也可以寫成cross one's heart and hope to die。Cross本來指的是雙手合十的樣子。該習語形容人發自內心的祈禱，表示說的是真話，可翻譯爲：詛咒，發誓。
