Don't let me down.

以前教過大家I'm counting on you. 和I'm depending on you.(我全靠你)，都是在有求于人時非常用得著的恭維話，今天多教一句：Don't let me down.(不要讓我失望)，別人聽到你這么說可能會更加為你盡力去辦。Let down是‘令人失望’，例如朋友問你How was the movie?(那出電影如何呢?)，如果說：It was a big let down. 就是說‘它太令人失望’的意思。

對話

A: How's tomorrow's business presentation going?

B: Our preparation work is almost done. We'll have a rehearsal tonight after dinner.

A: Well, I'll look forward to hearing some good results. Don't let me down.

B: I'll try my best to clinch the deal.

甲：明天的業務發表會怎樣?

乙：籌備工作已差不多完成，我們在今晚晚飯后會進行彩排。

甲：好的，我期待聽到好消息，不要令我失望。

乙：我會盡力去取得合同。

為了宣傳公司的產品、服務，公司職員往往要去其它機構或公開場所示范、講解等，　這英文叫做presentation，例如：The fund house made a presentation of the new investment funds they were launching.(基金公司舉行講座，介紹新創辦的投資基金)。

現在，某乙要為公司爭取合同，示范、講解當然要準備周詳。他老板說：Don't let me down.(別使我失望)。Let down　除了解作‘辜負(某人)期望’，還可解作‘使丟臉’或‘破壞(聲譽)’，例如：Your misconduct has let down the name of the bank.(你違反職業操守，破壞了銀行的聲譽)。

Let someone down的反義詞是live up to someone's expectations.(不負某人所望)。 某乙的老板其實可以說：I'm sure you'll live up to my expectations.(我相信你會不負我所望)。這有鼓勵的意思，比憂心忡忡的一句Don't let me down. 似乎好一點。Don't let me down. 會加重某乙精神上的壓力，對他示范、講解的表現未必有好處。

所以，你是某乙的同事，發覺他赴會前精神緊張，就應該設法消除他的焦慮，例如你可以說：You don't need to worry. I'm sure everything will go well as you're well prepared. You'll make a big hit.(你不必擔心。你準備得那么好，相信一切都會很順利。你會贏得觀眾贊賞)。Make a hit. 是‘博得好評’、‘大獲成功’的意思。
