中英法翻譯的走跳生活

今天的每日一字/詞是 "Walk the walk"

According to the Cambridge dictionary, to walk the walk means " to show that something is true by your actions rather than your words"

就是行動派、說做就做的意思，大家可能也會想到小時候記過的英語諺語 Actions speak louder than words. 吧？

eg. We're at this meeting because we're environmentalists who walk the walk.

提到walk the walk，或許你也曾看過另一個片語叫talk the talk，不過！重點來了！Talk the talk並不是walk the walk的反義詞喔！

To talk the talk means "to talk or act in a confident way so that you seem to be very good at what you do"

像是因為做擅長、喜歡的事而有自信侃侃而談

eg. She's only been a lawyer for three years, but she sure can talk the talk.

Hope you can not only walk the walk but also talk the talk!
