Take Something with a Grain of Salt

2021-02-19 史浩辰

(To) take something with a grain of salt 不必輕信

If someone makes a promise they can’t keep, you might be told to take it with a grain of salt.

如果有人做出了一個承諾而不確定能夠兌現，你可能會被告知不要輕易相信。

 

For example, someone might tell you: 「Be careful, airplanes are dangerous. But that’s just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt.」

例如，有人可能告訴你：「小心，飛機很危險，不過這只是我的個人意見，你不必全信。」

 

This expression advises someone to be skeptical of some promise or statement or to not take things literally or harshly.

這個表達建議某人對某些承諾或言論保持質疑態度，不要對那些話太認真或太苛刻。
