"Upon my word" nghĩa là gì?


"Upon my word" -> nghĩa là "có thật không?", "thật chứ?". Thán từ thể hiện sự ngạc nhiên, nghi ngờ.

Ví dụ
"Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly. Their beauty shakes me who was once serene. Upon my word, I tell you faithfully".

My grandmother had a neighbor who made it her business to find out and pass on the town's gossip (lời đàm tiếu). She would arrive unannounced and out of breath. She prefaced (mở đầu) each juicy tidbit (mẩu tin ngon lành) with, "Upon my word and honor...."

Upon my word, not every day does a 102-year-old Mountaineer Momma exclaim to me, “You will be my friend for life!” So thank you, Hazel Haymond Davidson, for making my day. Of course, there is a story behind Mrs. Davidson’s expression of gratitude (lòng biết ơn).
