Put your money where your mouth is
要有行动
Rosie: Hi, Im Rosie, and this is Li Li? Hurry up! Ah, heres the karaoke bar.
Li: Ahhh! Rosie, why is the bar on the top floor? So many stairs Help me please. Im so unfit. 我真的是很不健康,该锻炼了。我明天就去加入健身俱乐部。明天。
Rosie: Why dont you join the gym today?
Li: 算了,我还是明天去。Then Ill go every single day I will. I really will.
Rosie: Li, youve been saying that for months but you never actually do it!
Li: This time I will, I promise.
Rosie: Thats what you always say. You need to put your money where your mouth is.
Li: You want me to put my money where my mouth is? 把钱放在我嘴边?你不是要我吃掉纸币和硬币吧?Thats disgusting!
Rosie: No, Li, thats not what I meant. To put your money where your mouth is means to stop just talking about something and to take action!
Li: Ah, so you didnt really want me to put all these coins in my mouth then?
Rosie: No, please dont. I want you to stop talking about joining the gym - and to join it for real! Here are some more examples:
A: If we played a game of tennis I would easily win!
B: Why dont you put your money where your mouth is? I challenge you to a game!
