💡 Talk is cheap. / Easier said than done. 說得容易做得難
“Talk is cheap.” It means that it’s easy to say something, but actually doing it is much harder.
Talk is cheap 意為「開空頭支票;隨便說說而已」。這個慣用語於 1800 年代開始使用至今,但確切起源不得而知。
1800 年代流行的成語中有幾個是以 talk is cheap 作開頭,
如 talk is cheap but it takes money to buy a farm、talk is cheap but it takes money to buy whiskey、talk is cheap until you hire a lawyer 等等。
Let’s dive deeper into some related vocabulary and phrases you can use when talking about words and actions.
