I'll keep my word;I'll tell him everything.我将遵守诺言,把一切告诉他。promise, permit这两个词的共同意思是“允许”。其区别是： permit通常含有积极地、正面地“允许”的意义,例如通过法令或正式条文“允许”某件事; promise 作“答应”解时,含有“保证”之意,指答应或保证自己要做某一件事。例如: He has promised a thorough investigation into the affair.他已经答应彻底查办此事。下面三句意思相同：They promised me an immediate answer. They promised me to give an immediate answer. They promised me that they would give an immediate answer.他们答应我立即作出答复。1400年左右进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的promissum：pro 以前） +mittere (放，送），意为誓言。
