今天要和大家分享的口语表达是:You have my word.
word不仅是“单词”的意思,还有“话语”的意思,my word 就是“我说过的话”。我说过的话是算数的,这个口语表达的意思就是:“我保证”“我发誓”。相当于:I promise. 或是 I promise you.
- I am sorry. I don't mean it. You have my word. I won't do it again.
对不起,我不是成心的。我想你保证,我再也不会那样了。 - The work will be finished by the end of this week. You have my word!
这项工作一定会在周末之前完成,我向你保证。
这个表达不仅可以单独使用,后面也可以接that从句,下面我们来看两个例句:
- You have my word that we will arrive safely.
我保证我们会平安抵达的。 - You have my word that I won't tell anyone.
我向你保证,我不会告诉任何人。
