"All talk (and no action)" = toàn lời nói và không có hành động -> cụm từ này nghĩa là chỉ có nói suông mà không thực hiện, hay có thể gọi vui là NATO (not action talk only).
Ví dụ
Former Councilwoman Sue Lovell said the city isn’t doing enough to address a “new normal” of stronger storms. Challenger Bill King characterized the city’s response as all talk and no action.
“Since 2005 until now Abbas made many promises that he never delivered on. With all of his threats to stop all agreements with Israel, to (threaten to) stop security coordination, it’s all talk and no action. He doesn’t have a clear strategy when it comes to dealing with Israel.”
After a typically hyperactive summer season, Downton Abbey will prove to be just the soothing nightcap sought by many moviegoers eager for something that’s all talk and no action. (In the world of this movie, an action scene is when someone hits a hot-water pipe with a shovel.) It’s a gentle picture about genteel (thượng lưu, trưởng giả) people, as witty and warm as one might hope.
