Neil:Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil.

Helen:大家好，我是 Helen.

Neil:In Real English we look at words and phrases people use all the time, but you probably won't find in your dictionary.

Helen:希望您在今天的《地道英语》节目中能学到在词典里可能找不到的常用英语表达。 So Neil, have you started writing your novel yet?

Neil:No, not yet, but I'm definitely going to start next month, when I have, you know, a bit more free time.

Helen:Oh, Neil you're always making excuses! Neil 好久以前就说他要写书了，结果磨了这么久，我什么都没看见，他肯定一个字都没写。

Neil:What are you saying, Helen?

Helen:You're all mouth and no trousers!

Neil:Why, thanks a lot! Helen thinks I'm all mouth and no trousers. Can you explain what that means?

Helen:这个意思就是说，如果有人只说不做，那我们就可以说他是 all mouth and no trousers. 字面上的翻译是 '都是嘴而没有裤子'。听起来很奇怪，但是一个很通俗的表达。

Example

A:Dave's going on about climbing Mount Everest again. He reckons he can do it with just two months' training, but he hasn't even been for a hike yet.

B:Yeah, the problem is he's all mouth and no trousers.

Neil:So it means he's been talking a lot about climbing Mount Everest but actually we know he's not really going to do it.

Helen:Yep. He's all mouth and no trousers. Just like you, Neil.

Neil:Hmm.

Helen:It's a very long expression, isn't it?

Neil:Yes, but you can shorten it.

Helen:Oh, I see. 我们可以把这个表达说得更简单一些。

Neil:You can just say 'you're all mouth'.

Helen:可以说 '你都是嘴', 'you're all mouth'. Is it rude?

Neil:Well, it depends who you say it to. It's best to keep it to friends.

Helen:这个表达最好是在朋友之间用用，不然陌生人会觉得你没礼貌。
