talk through one's hat 信口开河
“信口开河”,汉语成语,字面意思“speak carelessly, rapidly, voluminously like the outflow of river water when the sluice gates are opened”。比喻随口乱说一气,指说话没有根据,不可靠(speak without measuring one's words)。可以翻译为“talk through one's hat”,表示“talk nonsense”。 例句: 别理乔纳森。他又在信口开河了。 Don't pay Jonathan any mind. He's just talking through his hat again. 别信口开河!昨天他不可能见到我,因为当时我不在那里。 Don't talk through your hat! |
