2023-07-07 14:42:24  每日學(xué)英語(yǔ)
jam是果醬,tomorrow是明天,jam tomorrow含義是許諾但沒有兌現(xiàn)的東西,可望而不可及的事物,兌現(xiàn)不了的許諾,空頭支票。

【例句】
To get promoted by the end of the year is only jam tomorrow for him.
年底升職對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)只不過(guò)是兌現(xiàn)不了的承諾。

And he was tired of friends' words of comfort and refused to settle for a promise of jam tomorrow.
唉,他已經(jīng)厭倦了朋友們安慰的話語(yǔ),也不滿足于那些未來(lái)是美好的空話。
