Chris: Yes, here you go.

　　Helen: Thanks. Are there any strings attached?

　　Chris: No, you can use the headphones for as long as you like - no strings attached.

　　Helen: Wonderful, thanks very much.

　　Chris: Lets take a listen to some examples of how strings attached or no strings attached can be used:

　　Make sure you read all of the contract before you sign it, there could be strings attached.

　　Were giving away our brand new toy to the first fifty customers who visit our shop - no strings attached.

　　Helen: So it can be a warning about whether there are restrictions to something or not.这个短语就是警告别人这里有附加条件。

　　Chris: Thats right. When something has strings attached, it often means there are hidden commitments and you should find out what they are.

　　Helen: Thats good to know. 这个短语仅仅是在说到钱的时候才能用吗?

　　Chris: It can often be used when talking about financial agreements or negotiations, but it can also be based on personal relationships too, like when you gave me the present. Heres another example:

　　A: My brother said I could use his car this weekend, no strings attached.

　　B: Really? Thats a nice thing to do.

　　A: Well, he does owe me a favour after I washed the car last week.
