解锁 adult 地道发音，口语交流不踩坑！

“Put your foot in your mouth” 可不是 “把脚放进嘴里” 的意思！ 不少小伙伴看到 “Put your foot in your mouth” 这个表达可能会困惑，“put” 是放，“foot” 是脚，“mouth” 是嘴巴，字面直译好像是 “把你的脚放进嘴里”，想想都觉得奇怪！但实际它是个形容人出言不当、说错话的地道口语表达！先来听一下它的英文解释：Put your foot in your mouth: to say something inappropriate or embarrassing.如果你说某人 “put his foot in his mouth”，就是指他说了不合适、令人尴尬的话，不小心说错话冒犯到别人或出了洋相。这个短语的起源特别形象，字面“把脚放进嘴里”本身就是一件笨拙、尴尬的事，后来逐渐引申为“说话不经过大脑，说出尴尬或不当的话”，是日常口语中很常用的表达，语气偏轻松，不带有强烈的指责意味，多用来形容无心之失。所以当有人不小心说错话、讲了不合时宜的内容，或者出言冒犯到别人时，就可以用这个短语来形容；它适用于日常聊天、职场沟通等非正式场景，不用在正式场合描述他人的失误。“Put your foot in your mouth” 翻译成中文可以是：说错话、出言不当、失言、祸从口出（口语化）。I really put my foot in my mouth when I asked about her job—she just got fired.我真的说错话了，居然问起她的工作，她刚被解雇。He put his foot in his mouth by saying the boss’s plan was stupid, not knowing the boss was behind him.他出言不当，说老板的计划很蠢，却没发现老板就在他身后。原声再现He's a doctor. He doesn't work here, so don't worry about putting your foot in your mouth.他是医生，不在这里工作，所以你不用担心说错话。I'm just going to meet her grandmother to make a good impression.我只是要去见她的奶奶，想给她留个好印象。And, uh, take off before I put my foot in my mouth, like I usually do.然后，呃，在我像往常那样说错话之前赶紧离开。28期爱趣英文开启限额招募，跟着卡卡老师彻底摆脱懒癌，全面系统提升！公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002
