Hi, I'm Rosie, and this is Li… |
[00:06.94] |
Li? Hurry up. Look, here's the karaoke bar. |
[00:10.54] |
Ahhh. Rosie, why is the bar on the top floor? So many stairs. Help me please. I'm so unfit. |
[00:22.49] |
I need to start doing more exercise. I'm going to join the gym tomorrow. |
[00:30.29] |
Tomorrow? Why don't you join the gym today? |
[00:33.96] |
I'll join it tomorrow and then I'll go every single day. I will. I really will. |
[00:42.18] |
Li, you've been saying that for months but you never actually do it! |
[00:47.55] |
This time I will, I promise. |
[00:52.24] |
That's what you always say. You need to put your money where your mouth is. |
[00:57.37] |
You want me to put my money where my mouth is? |
[01:00.94] |
You want me to eat my coins and banknotes? That's disgusting. |
[01:06.80] |
No, Li, that's not what I meant. |
[01:09.34] |
To put your money where your mouth is means to stop just talking about something and to take action. |
[01:15.74] |
Ah, so you didn't really want me to put all these coins in my mouth? |
[01:21.49] |
No, please don't. I want you to stop talking about joining the gym, and to join it for real. |
[01:28.80] |
Here are some more examples. |
[01:29.34] |
If we played a game of tennis I would easily win. |
[01:34.19] |
Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? I challenge you to a game. |
[01:39.69] |
So to put your money where your mouth is means to support your words with actions? |
[01:46.55] |
Yes. |
[01:47.90] |
so you'd say you’re one of those people who puts their money where their mouth is? |
[01:51.97] |
Definitely. |
[01:53.50] |
That's interesting actually. So the other day you were saying that you love singing, and here we are in a karaoke bar. |
[02:02.23] |
Well yes but, I'm really terrible actually. And some of our colleagues are here, how embarrassing. |
[02:08.72] |
No excuses. Put your money where your mouth is and sing a karaoke song. |
[02:14.96] |
Oh, do I have to? OK. Here we go. |
[02:20.00] |
Near far wherever you are .I believe that the heart does go on. |
[02:37.88] |
Maybe just maybe, sometimes it's best not to put your money where your mouth is. |
