Rosie: Li, youve been saying that for months but you never actually do it!
Li: This time I will, I promise.
Rosie: Thats what you always say. You need to put your money where your mouth is.
Li: You want me to put my money where my mouth is? 把錢放在我嘴邊?你不是要我吃掉紙幣和硬幣吧?Thats disgusting!
Rosie: No, Li, thats not what I meant. To put your money where your mouth is means to stop just talking about something and to take action!
Li: Ah, so you didnt really want me to put all these coins in my mouth then?
Rosie: No, please dont. I want you to stop talking about joining the gym - and to join it for real! Here are some more examples:
A: If we played a game of tennis I would easily win!
B: Why dont you put your money where your mouth is? I challenge you to a game!
He always talks about how great the charity is I think he should put his money where his mouth is and donate some money.

Rosie: Yes I think its a great expression. So many people just talk and talk about doing things and never actually do them!
Li: So youd say youre one of those people who puts their money where their mouth is?

Rosie: Well yes but Im really terrible actually. And some of our colleagues are here how embarrassing.
Li: No excuses! Put your money where your mouth is and sing a karaoke song!
Rosie: Ohhhh OK.
Li: 我的天哪，這嗓音也太恐怖了。Maybe sometimes its best NOT to put your money where your mouth is!
