We make them and we break them,because some promises are very hard to keep.Here are the 最佳, 返回页首 six most common broken promises...
1."I'll come back tomorrow"
你 always hear this from builders,plumbers,and electricians.But the truth is very different.They won't come back until 下一个 week(or later).And 你 will probably need to phone them 5 times first.
2."I won't tell anyone"
We 爱情 hearing secrets and we happily make this promise.And at the time we really mean it.'Don't worry,'we say,'your secret is 安全 with me.'But of course it isn't.Research shows that everybody will always tell one other person the secret.Very soon the whole 街, 街道 will know!
3."This won't hurt"
A favourite phrase of doctors,dentists,and nurses.They usually say it just before they give 你 an injection.But the phrase is not complete.The full phrase is:'This won't hurt me(but it will probably hurt 你 a lot).'
4."I'll write"
你 make a new friend on holiday 或者 on a bus journey,you swap e-mail addresses,and 你 make this promise.Six months later 你 find a name and e-mail address on a card 或者 an old piece of paper.'Oh dear!' 你 think-but then 你 remember that they didn't write to 你 either!
5."I'll pay 你 back tomorrow''
In Hamlet,Shakespeare told us never to borrow 或者 lend money.He was right.When we lend people money they always make this promise,but then they forget.If we then ask for the money back,they think we are mean.If we don't ask,we never get the money back.
6."I'll always 爱情 you"
Whitney Houston sang a song about this and every day,all over the world thousands of people make the same promises to each other.We know eternal 爱情 exists,but is this promise the most difficult one to keep of them all?
