swear off

お騒がせのリンジー・ローハン、次なる話題は暴露本(tell-all book)の出版だそうです。

復習程度のことですが、このPVは目的語に酒、タバコ、ドラッグ、ギャンブルなどを取り、それらを断つ(off)と誓う(swear)ときに用いられます。swearはとても強いことばで、言い換えると"to vow to abstain from"となります。(Koyamamoto)


Lindsay Lohan to write tell-all book detailing her time in rehab

Get ready for what could be one of the best literary classics of all time - Lindsay Lohan is writing a tell-all book.

The troubled actress met with literary agency Waxman Leavall in New York last Thursday to discuss the project.

Although the book is in its early stages, Lindsay started it as a series of journal entries while in rehab.

The book is expected to see Lindsay open up about every aspect of her life including becoming a child star, allegations of drug use, relationships with famous people - including her same sex fling with DJ Samantha Ronson - legal troubles and rehab stints, her most recent of which saw her complete 90 days of court ordered treatment in California.

Since leaving rehab at the end of July, Lindsay has sworn off drinking and partying and moved from Los Angeles to New York.
