　　第一， 迷你對話

　　A: Is that true that you wanna go with me for a trip around the US?

　　你說打算和我去美國，是真的嗎?

　　B: I was simply making a tongue-in-cheek remark.

　　我并不是認真的。

　　第二， 地道表達

　　tongue-in-cheek

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Tongue-in-cheek用來形容一件事情，那件事情聽起來似乎是很嚴肅的，但實際上不是認真的，半開玩笑的。Make a tongue-in-cheek remark的意思就是“說話虛情假意的，說話不算數的”。

　　2. 拓展范例

　　e.g. Don't be fooled by all his complimentary remarks as they were all tongue-in-cheek.

　　別讓他的恭維話給糊弄住--那些話可當不得真。

　　第三， 視野拓展

　　類似用法：with one’s tongue in one’s cheek：虛情假意地

　　e.g. He was saying that with his tongue in his cheek.

　　他只不過是虛情假意說說罷了。

　　e.g. There's a look on Jan's face that makes me think he's speaking with his tongue in hischeek.

　　從簡的表情看來，我覺得他話中有話。

　　e.g. He threatened to write to the newspapers about it, but I think he had his tongue in hischeek.

　　他威脅說要寫信給報紙，不過我想他只是說說而已。

　　e.g. She knew that his elaborate gallantries and his florid speeches were all done with histongue in his cheek.

　　她知道，他那些假意的殷勤和花言巧語都是嘴皮子上的東西。
