  第一, 迷你对话
  A: Is that true that you wanna go with me for a trip around the US?
  你说打算和我去美国,是真的吗?
  B: I was simply making a tongue-in-cheek remark.
  我并不是认真的。
  第二, 地道表达
  tongue-in-cheek
  1. 解词释义
  Tongue-in-cheek用来形容一件事情,那件事情听起来似乎是很严肃的,但实际上不是认真的,半开玩笑的。Make a tongue-in-cheek remark的意思就是“说话虚情假意的,说话不算数的”。
  2. 拓展范例
  e.g. Don't be fooled by all his complimentary 1 remarks as they were all tongue-in-cheek.
  别让他的恭维话给糊弄住--那些话可当不得真。
  第三, 视野拓展
  类似用法:with one’s tongue in one’s cheek:虚情假意地
  e.g. He was saying that with his tongue in his cheek.
  他只不过是虚情假意说说罢了。
  e.g. There's a look on Jan's face that makes me think he's speaking with his tongue in his cheek.
  从简的表情看来,我觉得他话中有话。
  e.g. He threatened to write to the newspapers about it, but I think he had his tongue in his cheek.
  他威胁说要写信给报纸,不过我想他只是说说而已。
  e.g. She knew that his elaborate 2 gallantries and his florid speeches were all done with his tongue in his cheek.
  她知道,他那些假意的殷勤和花言巧语都是嘴皮子上的东西。
