Put my foot in my mouth可不是“要把脚放进嘴里”

from 每天5分钟,轻松学口语

我们都知道,“mouth”是“嘴巴”,英语中也有很多与之相关的习语。今天我们就来学习一些吧~put one's foot in one's mouth(言语)使人尴尬,冒犯别人foot是脚的意思,mouth表示嘴巴,如果你把put your foot in your mouth直译成把你的脚塞进嘴巴的话,一定会闹出笑话。老外说I put my foot in my mouth,千万不要以为他有什么恶俗的怪癖,他只是为自己说错话而道歉,put one s foot in one s mouth表示一个人说错话了。说话一定要分清场合,如果你说了不该说的话,建议马上用I put my foot in my mouth向对方道歉,这样场面不会太尴尬。例句:Sorry, I really put my foot in my mouth at the wedding.对不起,我真的在婚礼上说错话了。have one's heart in one's mouth心都提到嗓子眼了have one's heart in one's mouth意思是“心都提到嗓子眼了”。这种说法早在几千年前就出现在荷马的史诗《伊利亚特》中。当很紧张很害怕的时候,心会扑通扑通跳得很厉害,感觉就像要从嗓子里蹦出来一样,所以就有了have one's heart in one's mouth的说法。例句:The little boy stood outside the door of the headmaster's room and had his heart in his mouth, afraid to go in.小男孩提心吊胆地站在校长室门口,不敢进去。look a gift horse in the mouth我们知道,马好不好要看牙口(look a horse in the mouth)。但是如果这匹马是别人送的(a gift horse),那再检查牙口就有些不近情理了。这就是为什么英语中用look a gift horse in the mouth指责一个人不懂礼貌,对别人送的礼物“吹毛求疵”、“过于挑剔”。例句:Susan sometimes will look a gift horse in the mouth.苏珊有时候会吹毛求疵。
