52. I promise… 我發誓……
I promise that I won’t tell anybody what you said.
（我發誓我決不會將你對我說的話告訴任何人。）
【Kim’s Note】 This sentence is so often untrue. Most people can’t resist telling just one person something, and that person usually tells another person. The best policy with secrets is to tell no one.
53. I refuse to… 我拒絕……
I refuse to answer such a silly question.
（我拒絕回答這么愚蠢的問題。）
【Kim’s Note】This is a great sentence to avoid answering something stupid. It will always make the person who asked feel foolish.
54. I regret doing… 我后悔……
I now regret saying what I said.
（現在我為自己說過的話感到后悔。）
【Kim’s Note】 Life is too short to waste time in regrets, but everyone does something every now and then that they regret. The best policy is to forget it and move on. Learn the lesson and forget the details!
