  B: I think they are just dangling a carrot in front of us.
  我觉得这只不过在我们面前说空话。
  第二, 地道表达
  dangle 2 a carrot
  1. 解词释义
  Dangle a carrot中的dangle意为“使摇晃着悬挂”,carrot是指“胡萝卜”,其字面意思是“是胡萝卜摇晃着悬挂着”,比喻为“开空头支票”“以实现不了的诺言诱惑”。用来指一个人承诺了一件事情,可是让其他人觉得他无法做到。俚语词典解释道:To dangle a carrot in front of someone means to tempt 3 someone with an item that is not attainable 4.
  2. 拓展范例
  e.g. My boss promised me a raise but I know he is just dangling a carrot in front of me.
  老板许诺要给我加薪,可我知道他是在开空头支票。
  e.g. Dad is trying to persuade Jim by dangling the carrot of higher allowance.
  爸爸以增加零用钱为饵企图说服吉姆。
  e.g. The boss told me lf I perform well on the job; we’ll talk about a salary increase next year. But I think he's just dangling a carrot in front of me.
  老板告诉我,如果我工作表现出色,明年加工资就有商量了。但我想他这不过是开了一张空头支票。
  第三, 咬文嚼字
  1. in the near future:在不久的将来
  e.g. She would miss the company of men in the near future.
  在最近的将来,她没有机会和男人接触。
  e.g. I believe man will conquer the weather in the near future.

  2. in front of sb.:在某人面前,当着某人的面
  e.g. He enjoys posturing 5 in front of an audience.
  他喜欢在观众面前装腔作势。
  e.g. The good harvest scene emerges in front of us.
