迷你对话：
A: He thought he could take Jimmy in, but you know, Jimmy is no fool.
他以为他可以骗Jimmy，可是你要知道Jimmy不是个傻瓜。
B: So?
结果呢？
A: So Jimmy just took him in instead and it cost him an arm and a leg.
结果是Jinny反而给他骗了，他可赔死了。
B: You mean finally Henry bought the broken car himself.
你是说Herry自己买了那辆破车。
A: Exactly. Herry is almost broken now.
正是，Herry现在快要破产了。
地道表达：
no fool
解词释义：
no表示绝对否定，no fool指“绝对不是傻子的人”，那么自然是指聪明的人，精灵机敏的人，也可以做nobody’s fool。
支持范例：
You can not lie to me , I am no fool.
你骗不了我，我不是傻瓜。
There is no fool who is happy, and no wise man who is not.
世界上没有快乐的愚人也没有不快乐的智者。
Those few words had shown quite plainly he was no longer taken in by her and that he was no fool.
他的话虽然是这么简单，可是显然的说出来他不再上她的套儿，他并不是个蠢驴。
There is no fool like an old fool.
没有比老糊涂更糊涂的人了。
