go back on one's word其實(shí)這個(gè)詞組，我們可以把它想象成是“回到了某個(gè)人說的話上”，從而來把它引申為是“一個(gè)人只說話，不干事”來把它理解為是“食言、言而無信、違背諾言”的這層含義。
【例句】
If you promised to help，you will not go back on your word.
如果你答應(yīng)了幫忙，就不要食言。
He had agreed to help me with some shopping days ago, but went back on his word yesterday. He is always acting like that.
他前幾天明明答應(yīng)了幫我買東西，但昨天又突然變卦了，這個(gè)人總是這樣。
