No strings attached
没有附带条件
Chris: Hi Helen. Wow, whats that?
Helen: This is a present for you, Chris. 一个小礼物。
Chris: A present for me? Oh, thats very kind of you!
Helen: Here you go.
Chris: A new dictionary - how nice! Thats such a lovely present, and its not even my birthday. But hang on, why have you stuck all these pieces of string onto the book?
Helen: There are strings to your present. 我把好几根绳子夹在字典里。
Chris: Erm, I see. Do you mean there are certain conditions that come with this present?
Helen: Yes, strings to your present!
Chris: Ah, you mean there are strings attached
Helen: I see so its an expression in English?
Chris: Thats right. Having strings attached doesnt actually mean you need to stick pieces of string to the book. You can just tell me what the conditions are.
Helen: Oh, OK. Well, the conditions are that I can borrow your dictionary whenever I need to use it. 我的附加条件是我可以随时随地的用你的字典。怎么样?
Chris: Thats absolutely fine. You can borrow it anytime.
Helen: Great! Do you have any headphones I can use too? I want to listen to my mp3 player. 能借借你的耳机吗?
