看绝望主妇学英语之高频短语：So help me
So help me：used to make a promise in a very formal and serious way, also it’s a little phrase used to sound powerful while making a threat.. （我发誓，不信你等着瞧，我把话撂这了……意思与I swear to God…类似）
Origin/出处：“So help me” is a short form of an oath, “so help me, God”, as in , ‘I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me, God’, so the equivalent in Chinese would be, “我发誓”.
中文释义：So help me这个短语来自于一个誓言”So help me, God”的缩略形式，其意思并不是指“你帮我…”，而是指语气较为严肃的郑重发誓，亦或是语气强硬的恐吓与威胁（前面一般会加带“or”作为转折连词）。
