核心句型：
He is so full of hot air.
他真是满口空话。
full of hot air 直译过来就是：“充满了热空气”。在英语俚语中，hot air是“空话，大话和夸夸其谈”的意思。所以这个短语的正确意思是：“满口空话，吹牛，夸夸其谈”。因此，当美国人说"He is full of hot air."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"What he says is just empty talk."、"He is shooting off his mouth."、"What he says is all jaw 1."。
情景对白：
Shirley: He is ready enough with his promises, but often fails to carry them out.
雪莉：他总是满口许诺，但常常不履行。
Jane: Just ignore him. He is full of hot air.
简：别理他，他总是满口空话。
搭配句积累：

②What he said is simply not credible 2.

③Never believe in his commitment.
千万别相信他的承诺。
