他真是滿口空話。

full of hot air 直譯過來就是：“充滿了熱空氣”。在英語俚語中，hot air是“空話，大話和夸夸其談”的意思。所以這個(gè)短語的正確意思是：“滿口空話，吹牛，夸夸其談”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說"He is full of hot air."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"What he says is just empty talk."、"He is shooting off his mouth."、"What he says is all jaw."。

情景對(duì)白：
Shirley: He is ready enough with his promises, but often fails to carry them out.

雪莉：他總是滿口許諾，但常常不履行。

Jane: Just ignore him. He is full of hot air.

簡(jiǎn)：別理他，他總是滿口空話。

搭配句積累：
①He is generally regarded as a disgusting guy.

大家都認(rèn)為他是個(gè)討厭鬼。

②What he said is simply not credible.

他的話一點(diǎn)也沒可信。

③Never believe in his commitment.

千萬別相信他的承諾。

④Don't listen to him.

別聽他的。

單詞：
1. be all jaw 全是空話，廢話連篇

All this could be all jaw without a government that is unified in opinion.

如果沒有一個(gè)思想統(tǒng)一的政府來指導(dǎo)發(fā)展，實(shí)現(xiàn)這一切只是空談一場(chǎng)。

What he said is all jaw.

他說的全是空話。

2. commitment n. 承諾，保證

We made a commitment to keep working together.

我們承諾繼續(xù)合作。

They made a commitment to peace.

他們承諾要維護(hù)和平。

He made a commitment to pay the rent on time.

他保證按時(shí)付房租。
