DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH

不要抱有期望

Is this a warning for swimmers and divers?

这是对游泳运动员和潜水员的警告吗?

Hey, do you need help moving to your new apartment this weekend?

嘿,这个周末你需要帮忙搬进新的公寓吗?

Oh no, that’s okay. Evan said he would help. He has a truck.

哦不,没关系。艾文说他会帮我。他有一辆卡车。

Evan? Don’t hold your breath waiting for him.

艾文?别对他报太大希望。

He said he’d help me move, and then never showed up.

他曾说过要帮我搬家,然后就从来没有出现过。

Oh.Well then... what you doing this weekend?

哦。那好吧,你这周末有事情吗?

We say "don’t hold your breath," when we think something is not likely to happen soon...if ever.

我们用“不要屏住呼吸”来形容我们认为某事不会很快发生,或者是永不会发生。

Sometimes children threathen to hold their breath until they get what they want- which usually does not work.

有时孩子们用憋着呼吸的手段威胁借以得到他们想要的东西-但通常并不能起到作用。

You can also say, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

你也可以说,我并不抱有期待。

And that’s English in a Minute!
