迷你对话：
A:Jenny, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep weeping like that?
Jenny，你怎么啦？你为什么一直这样哭泣。
B:Mary told me that she had seen you with John last night. I got to know the fact that you are playing the field.
Mary说她昨天看到你跟Joan约会，我终于知道你是个花心大萝卜了。
A:Honey,cross my heart, I'v never looked at another woman since the first day I set my eyes on you! Believe me, that's the truth.
宝贝儿，我向你发誓，自从见到你以后，我就在没有对别的女人多看过一样，这可是千真万确的呀。
地道表达：
cross one's heart
解词释义：
改习语也可以写成cross one's heart and hope to die。Cross本来指的是双手合十的样子。该习语形容人发自内心的祈祷，表示说的是真话，可翻译为：诅咒，发誓。
