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(shuō)的話(huà)上”，從而來(lái)把它引申為是“一個(gè)人只說(shuō)話(huà)，不干事”來(lái)把它理解為是“食言、言而無(wú)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(mǎi)東西，但昨天又突然變卦了，這個(gè)人總是這樣。
