all mouth and trousers和all mouth and no trousers

all mouth and trousers

all mouth and no trousers

为什么这两句俚语一个有裤子和一个没裤子有同样的意思？

all mouth and trousers = all mouth and no trousers = be all mouth (and no trousers)

《牛津英语习语词典》mouth和trousers词条有如下解释：

be all mouth and (no) trousers (非正式)只说不作；干打雷不下雨

be all mouth (and no trousers) (非正式)只说不作；干打雷不下雨
