something you say that means you do not trust someone at all:
He's very charming but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
I don't trust him as far as I can throw him 나는 그를 들어서 던질 수 있는 멀리 정도만 믿는다.
I believe him as far as I can throw him. 나는 그를 들어서 던질 수 있는 만큼만 믿는다. 난 그를 믿지 않아.
사람을 들어서 얼마나 멀리 던질 수 있을까? 결국 이것은 "I don't believe him at all."과 같은 뜻이다.
A: That new guy in Human Resources sure likes to talk. B: You mean Wally? Yeah... that he does. A: He told me he used to work for the CIA. Do you believe him? B: Oh, I believe him about as far as I can throw him!
