In this programme, I thought I'd impress you with an old Chinese phrase that we use in English now.

Oh, yes? Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil 要給我介紹一個英語中也會用到的中文諺語，這是真的嗎？Go on, then!

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

The phrase is jiggery-pokery.

Jiggery-pokery? Oh, come on! 拜托，這哪兒是中文啊？That's not Chinese!

It is – everyone in China uses it, apparently.

I don't think so. What does it mean, anyway?

‘Jiggery-pokery’ refers to dishonest behaviour that is intended to trick people.

原來，單詞“jiggery-pokery”的意思是“騙局、詭計”，我們在口語中用它來表示“不誠實的，欺騙他人的行為”，也就好比漢語里的“騙人的伎倆”。Oh, hold on, were you trying to trick me just to illustrate this phrase?

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Yes! I almost tricked you, didn't I?

Hmmm. I think we had better hear some examples of this phrase in action.

Examples

The company is being investigated after some shareholders accused it of jiggery-pokery.

I was surprised that the businessman got away with so much jiggery-pokery before he was finally caught and sent to prison.

組合詞“jiggery-pokery”的意思是“被隱瞞的、不誠信的行為”。不過 Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil，“jiggery-pokery”可絕不是什么中文成語。我們講究做生意“言而有信”、“童叟無欺”，與人交往的時候要“以誠相待”、“心口如一”……

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

OK, I get it. Now before I forget, don't you owe me ten pounds?

No! I bought you lunch, remember? Honestly, jiggery-pokery in action!

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Well, at least you won't forget the phrase now.

That’s true. Bye.
