"Break a/one's promise" nghĩa là bội ước, không giữ lời hứa.

Ví dụ
But perhaps, even though the promises hasn't been broken, when someone intends to break a promise she has done the moral equivalent of breaking a promise.

If a man does not carry out his promise, he is cashiered (tước quân hàm); men do not care to associate with one who breaks his promise; and what would become of God's great name if he were to break his promise?

If one breaks a promise, the default position is that one has failed to live up to an obligation (nghĩa vụ), and so breaking a promise is a moral failure. It is not simply a failure to live up to an announced prediction of what one will do.

I told her, “Any time.” I spoke to Tina the next day. Tina's husband, Jim, came through immediately. He spoke about his love for Tina and his sons. Jim said he wanted his oldest son, Danny, to break his promise to him which was that he was to take on the responsibility of the family. Jim said that he wanted Danny to live his life.
