時差N小時:不買賬 To Not Buy That

When we go shopping, it is often easy to decide whatwe'd like to buy and what we want to disregard orleave for another time. Other times there is addedpressure from a salesperson who tries toconvince us to purchase something. If we realizethat the salesperson is actually lying or deceivingus in order to make a sale, then we may say, "I'mnever going to buy that."

當(dāng)我們購物時，往往很容易決定買什么，但也可能看不上某些商品或某些商品決定下次再買。有時候，營業(yè)員試圖說服我們購買一些東西。如果我們意識到營業(yè)員實際上在說謊或想欺騙我們購買他們的東西，那么我們可以這樣說：“我不會買你的帳的。”

This idiom-to NOT buy something-is used not only with physical items that are for sale, butindeed in any situation where we do not trust the words or explanation that we are hearing. Itmeans that we think the story we are hearing is not true. It may be purposely false in order todeceive us or unintentionally untrue because the speaker has mistaken the facts. In any case,it's always best to double check the facts and don't "buy" everything you hear.

當(dāng)你不是在購物時，這個習(xí)語的使用不僅可以與具體出售的東西有關(guān)，還可以用在當(dāng)我們不相信我們所聽到的話或解釋的情況下。這意味著，我們認為我們聽到的話不是真的。這些話可能是故意欺騙我們，也可能是因為講話者的失誤而弄錯了事實。在任何情況下，我們最好仔細核準事實的真相而不要輕易地“買別人的帳”。
