看美剧学英语习语:So help me...

So help me(God):used to make a promise in a very formal and serious way, also it's a little phrase used to sound powerful while making a threat.. (我发誓,说真的,不信你等着瞧,我把话撂这了......意思与I swear to God...类似)


Origin/出处:"So help me" is a short form of an oath, "so help me, God", as in , 'I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me, God', so the equivalent in Chinese would be, "我发誓、说真的!".

中文释义:So help me这个短语来自于一个誓言"So help me, God"的缩略形式,其意思并不是指“你帮我...”,而是指语气较为严肃的郑重发誓,亦或是语气强硬的恐吓与威胁(前面一般会加带“or”作为转折连词)。
