to let down

The Beatles: DON’T LET ME DOWN’ John Lennon zpívá, že je zamilovaný, a prosí svou milou, aby na něj byla hodná, bojí se zklamání, a tak ji žádá: not to let him down - aby ho nezklamala - nebo neoklamala, nezradila. MICHELLE: Oh I think the worst time was when I told my sister about my new boyfriend. You see my mother didn’t like him, so I told my sister it was a secret. So what did she do? She went straight to my mother and told her all about it. She really let me down! Michelle se svěřila své sestře, s kým chodí, a protože matce se dotyčný moc nezamlouval, doufala, že si to sestra nechá pro sebe, ovšem sestra to prozradila. BEE: Well when I got married I had a bit of a disaster. We arranged for a Rolls Royce to pick me up and take me to the wedding - but it never arrived. I had to take a bus! Can you imagine?! That car company let me down very badly! Firma, u které si Bee pronajala na svatbu Rolls Royce, let her down very badly - nechala ji "ve štychu". MARTIN: I have to make a big speech next week in front of about two thousand people. I’m really nervous so I’ve asked all my family and friends to come along and support me. I hope they don’t let me down! Martinovi příbuzní a kamarádi slíbili, že ho přijdou příští týden povzbudit. Má mít projev ke dvěma tisícům diváků. A tak Martin doufá, že opravdu přijdou a nenechají ho ve štychu.
