You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house. 例如,当你向银行借贷买新房时,你可能会说,你的心都提到嗓子眼了。
If that bank says no to you, do not lose heart . Be strong-hearted . 如果银行拒绝了你的请求,不要失去信心( lose heart). 要有一个强大的心( strong-hearted)。
Sit down with the banker and have a heart to heart talk. 和银行行长一起坐下来,来一个心对心的交谈。
Be open and honest about your situation. 诚实公开的说出你的状况。
The bank may have a change of heart. It may agree to lend you the money. 银行可能会改变心意,同意借钱给你。
Then you could stop worrying and put your heart at rest .
之后你就可以停止担心,放下心来了(put your heart at rest)。
