　　第一， 迷你對(duì)話

　　A: Is that true that you wanna go with me for a trip around the US?

　　你說(shuō)打算和我去美國(guó)，是真的嗎?

　　B: I was simply making a tongue-in-cheek remark.

　　我并不是認(rèn)真的。

　　第二， 地道表達(dá)

　　tongue-in-cheek

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Tongue-in-cheek用來(lái)形容一件事情，那件事情聽(tīng)起來(lái)似乎是很?chē)?yán)肅的，但實(shí)際上不是認(rèn)真的，半開(kāi)玩笑的。Make a tongue-in-cheek remark的意思就是“說(shuō)話虛情假意的，說(shuō)話不算數(shù)的”。

　　2. 拓展范例

　　e.g. Don't be fooled by all his complimentary remarks as they were all tongue-in-cheek.

　　別讓他的恭維話給糊弄住--那些話可當(dāng)不得真。

　　第三， 視野拓展

　　類似用法：with one’s tongue in one’s cheek：虛情假意地

　　e.g. He was saying that with his tongue in his cheek.

　　他只不過(guò)是虛情假意說(shuō)說(shuō)罷了。

　　e.g. There's a look on Jan's face that makes me think he's speaking with his tongue in hischeek.

　　從簡(jiǎn)的表情看來(lái)，我覺(jué)得他話中有話。

　　e.g. He threatened to write to the newspapers about it, but I think he had his tongue in hischeek.

　　他威脅說(shuō)要寫(xiě)信給報(bào)紙，不過(guò)我想他只是說(shuō)說(shuō)而已。

　　e.g. She knew that his elaborate gallantries and his florid speeches were all done with histongue in his cheek.

　　她知道，他那些假意的殷勤和花言巧語(yǔ)都是嘴皮子上的東西。
