英語口語練習(xí)小對(duì)話 第86期:發(fā)誓保證
迷你對(duì)話：
A:Jenny, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep weeping like that?
Jenny，你怎么啦?你為什么一直這樣哭泣。
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(huì)，我終于知道你是個(gè)花心大蘿卜了。
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(fā)誓，自從見到你以后，我就在沒有對(duì)別的女人多看過一樣，這可是千真萬確的呀。
地道表達(dá)：
cross one's heart
解詞釋義：
改習(xí)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(xí)語形容人發(fā)自內(nèi)心的祈禱，表示說的是真話，可翻譯為：詛咒，發(fā)誓。
