“have one's word”是英语中表达承诺与信任的核心短语，核心语义为“（某人）信守承诺，说话算数”，强调承诺者以个人信誉作担保，必定履行所言之事 。其本质是通过“word”（此处指“承诺”而非“话语、单词”）传递出的人格保证，隐含“一言为定、诺出必行”的道德约束，可用于正式或非正式语境，语气较“promise”更重，凸显可信度。用法有二：

1.当have前的主语与one不是同一个人时，表示：one向主语保证、承诺……；或主语相信one的承诺；常用结构为“主语+have+所有格代词+word”，可接that从句补充承诺内容，如：

You have my word that we’ll go to the zoo this weekend, no matter how busy I am.

我向你保证，不管我多忙，这周末我们都去动物园。

She has my word that I won’t let anyone hurt her, not now or ever.
