take something with a pinch⁴ of salt :regard something as exaggerated⁵, or only believe a part of something （Take something with a pinch of salt直译是‘和一撮盐吃下去’,意译则是‘姑且听着,不能尽信’。盐在这有‘疑惑’意思。原来淡而寡味、人们不爱吃的东西,加一点调味的盐,会比较容易下咽；同样,难以教人相信的事,用一些动听言词说出来,人家往往也会有戒心,不敢尽信。所以,take something with a pinch of salt这句话含有疑惑意味）将信将疑；认为某事被放大，对某事半信半疑（某人的话，要和着一撮盐听着；姑且听着,不能尽信）

SOLD ME OUT:to snitch on someone, or let their secret out出卖：揭发别人或泄露他人秘密

I asked you to keep it to yourself! I can’t believe you sold me out, I trusted you!我嘱咐过你一定得保密！没想到你竟然出卖我，亏我那么相信你！
