Neil: Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil.
Helen: 大家好，我是 Helen. (来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

Neil: In Real English we look at words and phrases people use all the time, but you probably won't find in your dictionary.

Helen: 希望您在今天的《地道英语》节目中能学到在词典里可能找不到的常用英语表达。 So Neil, have you started writing your novel yet? (来源：最老牌的英语学习网站 EnglishCN.com)

Neil: No, not yet, but I'm definitely going to start next month, when I have, you know, a bit more free time. (来源：英语分类信息 http://fl.englishcn.com)

Helen: Oh, Neil you're always making excuses! Neil 好久以前就说他要写书了，结果磨了这么久，我什么都没看见，他肯定一个字都没写。

Neil: What are you saying, Helen?

(来源：英语分类信息 http://fl.englishcn.com)

Helen: You're all mouth and no trousers! (来源：英语分类信息 http://fl.englishcn.com)

Neil: Why, thanks a lot! Helen thinks I'm all mouth and no trousers. Can you explain what that means?

(来源：英语博客 http://space.englishcn.com)

Helen: 这个意思就是说，如果有人只说不做，那我们就可以说他是 all mouth and no trousers. 字面上的翻译是 '都是嘴而没有裤子'。听起来很奇怪，但是一个很通俗的表达。 (来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

Example

(来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 www.EnglishCN.com)

A:Dave's going on about climbing Mount Everest again. He reckons he can do it with just two months' training, but he hasn't even been for a hike yet. (来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

B:Yeah, the problem is he's all mouth and no trousers.

Neil: So it means he's been talking a lot about climbing Mount Everest but actually we know he's not really going to do it.

Helen: Yep. He's all mouth and no trousers. Just like you, Neil.

Neil: Hmm. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 EnglishCN.com)

Helen: It's a very long expression, isn't it?

(来源：英语博客 http://space.englishcn.com)

Neil: Yes, but you can shorten it. (来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

Helen: Oh, I see. 我们可以把这个表达说得更简单一些。

(来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

Neil: You can just say 'you're all mouth'. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

Helen: 可以说 '你都是嘴', 'you're all mouth'. Is it rude? (来源：英语博客 http://space.englishcn.com)

Neil: Well, it depends who you say it to. It's best to keep it to friends.

(来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

Helen: 这个表达最好是在朋友之间用用，不然陌生人会觉得你没礼貌。 (来源：英语图片 http://photo.englishcn.com)
