脫掉字幕:
1.I may drop a few hints. 我可以透點口風(fēng)。
表示自己要給別人一點提示可以說這句話,它還可以說成I may drop a few hints.
Hint就表示“提示,暗示”。如果要強調(diào)自己不得不給某人提示,可以用雙重否定的形式,即I can't give her/him no hint. “我不能不給她/他暗示。”
給了別人暗示,表示別人領(lǐng)會了你的意思就可以說take a hint或take the hint,如一直暗示朋友不要離開你,他卻沒有領(lǐng)會你的意思時就可以說I thought he would never go ,but he just can't take a hint!“我一直認為他不會走的,但他一直沒有領(lǐng)會我的意思。”
2.I won't say a word. 我會只字不提的。
朋友總會告訴你些小秘密,要求你保密,向別人保證自己“一個字都不會說”時就可以說I won't say a word.表達這個意思還可以說I won't way anything.“我什么都不會說的。”
而要朋友保密時就可以說This is between us. “這事,你知,我知。”表達這個意思還可以說It's between you and me.
