關於英文慣用語 高人幫幫忙!

我用廣東話翻譯, 你易d明.
1. GAVE YOU MY WORD - 應承過你 (give you my word = 應承你)
THAT WILL DO WONDERS - 極美妙 / 極有用

I GAVE YOU MY WORD THAT I'LL CREATE A BOOK THAT WILL DO WONDERS - 我應承過你我會整本極有用嘅書出嚟.
其他應用eg.:
Daivd gave his word to his mother that he will work hard this year - David應承咗佢阿媽佢今年會努力.
I have designed a special tool that will do wonders for your job - 我詨計咗一件對你工作極有用嘅特別工具.

2. TAKE YOUR TIME - 慢慢嚟 / 唔使急
HAVE A BALL - 開心咁享受
TAKE YOUR TIME AND HAVE A BALL - 慢慢嚟, 開開心心咁享受啦
其他應用eg.:
Daivd took his time before answering the questions - David 慢慢諗清楚先答問題.

3. LOSE HEART - 氣餒
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE - 直譯係: 向生命光輝的一面看 / 即係 "向好果方面睇"

NEVER LOSE HEART AND ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE - 永遠唔好氣餒, 要向好果方面睇

在日常生活中用呢d慣用語完全無問題. 學多d對你與外國人溝通有好產. 但係呢d慣用語用得唔好會適得其反, 所以考Oral時就可免則免.
