[英文成語] WON'T HOLD BREATH. - 表達等待無希望的情境

Won't hold breath.

Won't hold breath.

/woʊnt hoʊld brɛθ/

唔會深呼吸

喺生活中,有時候我哋對某些事情嘅期望可能會因為多次掖期而逐漸消失。而當我哋不太相信某事件會按期發生時,就會用「Won't hold breath」來表達。呢個諺語源自於做某事的時候唔會因為期待而屏氣等待,意即個人並唔抱有太大希望。例如,如果你等朋友好幾次都爽約,當他再次約你時,你可能就會用這句話來表達你對這次約會成功嘅懷疑。這種表達方式說明了個人對未來某事件發生的懷疑或不信任感。在現實生活中應用「唔會深呼吸」可以幫助表達真實的情感,同時緩解因期待而可能產生的失望。當然,保持一定的樂观和實際的期望,可以幫助我哋更好地調整心態,面對生活中不可避免的等待和不確定性。
