double有兩面、雙重的意思。double talk這個習(xí)慣用語的含義就是讓聽的人摸不著頭腦，是不置可否，模棱兩可的話，含糊其詞的話。
【例句】
Someone asked the candidate whether he'd vote to cut our taxes. He gave the crowd a lot of double-talk which left us arguing afterwards whether his answer was yes or no.
有人問侯選人他是否會投票贊成為我們減稅。他說了一大堆含糊其辭的話，叫大家事后不斷爭論他究竟回答了“是”還是“否。”
My wife was quite convinced by what the salesman told her, but to me it was just a lot of double talk.
我太太很相信推銷員對她說的話，但我認為那只是花言巧語而已。
