[00:00.10] | Now, the VOA Special English program, Words and Their Stories. |
[00:16.48] | People use their mouths for many things. |
[00:21.29] | They eat, talk, shout and sing. |
[00:25.42] | They smile and they kiss. |
[00:27.65] | In the English language, there are many expressions using the word "mouth." |
[00:34.03] | But some of them are not so nice. |
[00:37.04] | For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say "Do not badmouth me!" |
[00:46.74] | Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person's feelings. |
[00:56.69] | Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. |
[01:02.68] | The speaker might say "I really put my foot in my mouth this time." |
[01:07.66] | If this should happen, the speaker might feel "down in the mouth." |
[01:13.93] | In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing. |
[01:20.30] | Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. |
[01:27.73] | The other person might protest "I did not say that. |
[01:32.36] | Do not put words in my mouth!" |
[01:35.17] | Information is often spread through "word of mouth." |
[01:41.12] | This is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other. |
[01:47.49] | "How did you hear about that new movie?" someone might ask. |
[01:52.34] | "Oh, by ‘word of mouth.'" |
[01:54.93] | A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece. |
[02:03.65] | This is an official spokesperson. |
[02:06.79] | Government-run media could also be called "a mouthpiece." |
[02:13.42] | Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. |
[02:23.40] | When this happens, the friend might say "You took the words right out of my mouth!" |
[02:31.57] | Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. |
[02:39.29] | He might say that experience "left a bad taste in my mouth." |
[02:45.58] | Or the person might have had a very frightening experience, like being chased by an angry dog. |
[02:56.08] | He might say "I had my heart in my mouth." |
[03:00.95] | Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. |
[03:10.39] | There is an expression for this, too. |
[03:14.95] | You might say such a person was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth." |
[03:21.11] | This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives "from hand to mouth." |
[03:30.43] | This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life -- |
[03:39.68] | like food. |
[03:40.96] | Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. |
[03:51.89] | For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as "a mouthy child." |
[04:03.82] | The parents might even tell the child to "stop mouthing off." |
[04:10.04] | But enough of all this talk. |
[04:13.23] | I have been running my mouth long enough. |

[00:00.10] | 现在是voa特别英语栏目词汇典故 |
[00:16.48] | 人们用嘴做许多事 |
[00:21.29] | 他们吃饭,讲话,喊叫,唱歌 |
[00:25.42] | 他们微笑,亲吻 |
[00:27.65] | 在英语中有许多使用嘴这个字的表达方式 |
[00:34.03] | 但其中有些不那么友善 |
[00:37.04] | 比如说,如果你说某人的坏话,那么这个人可能用“不要用你的脏嘴玷污我”来还击 |
[00:46.74] | 有时,人们会对朋友和家庭成员说一些伤人的,他们日后会后悔的话 |
[00:56.69] | 或者告诉他们一些自己本不想说的话 |
[01:02.68] | 那个说这话的人可能就说“我这次慎言无悔” |
[01:07.66] | 如果这发生了,那么那个说话的人就会垂头丧气 |
[01:13.93] | 换句话说,他会因为说了这个错事而觉得难过。 |
[01:20.30] | 另一个情况是某人错误地宣称另一个人说了某事 |
[01:27.73] | 另一个人就可能这样回击:我没这样说过 |
[01:32.36] | 别把这话硬塞到我嘴里! |
[01:35.17] | 信息的传播经常依靠口头宣传 |
[01:41.12] | 这是一个人们之间的常见沟通方式,就像朋友之间的对话 |
[01:47.49] | “你听说过这部电影吗”,某人可能问 |
[01:52.34] | “哦,听别人讲过” |
[01:54.93] | 另外一个正式的信息获取方式是通过公司或者政府的代言人 |
[02:03.65] | 这就是官方发言人 |
[02:06.79] | 政务媒体也被称为政府的“喉舌” |
[02:13.42] | 有时一个正在讲话的人会讲他的朋友将要讲的相同的事 |
[02:23.40] | 当这一情况发生时,那个朋友可能会讲“你抢走了我要讲的话!” |
[02:31.57] | 有时一个人因另一个人有着不好的经历 |
[02:39.29] | 他可能会说这个经历“给我留下了坏印象” |
[02:45.58] | 或者一个人有着非常可怕的经历,就像是被一个愤怒的狗追 |
[02:56.08] | 他可能说“我的心都提到了嗓子眼” |
[03:00.95] | 有的拥有许多钱的人因为出身在富裕家庭 |
[03:10.39] | 我们对这种人也有一个表达方式 |
[03:14.95] | 你可以说他“含着金汤匙出生的” |
[03:21.11] | 和富人相反的就是“仅能糊口的人” |
[03:30.43] | 这种人非常贫穷,贫穷到只有钱购买生活必需品 |
[03:39.68] | 比如说食物 |
[03:40.96] | 父母有时会扣留孩子嘴里的甜食作为他们做了错事的惩罚 |
[03:51.89] | 比如,如果一个孩子说了他不应该对父母说的话,她就会被描述成一个“口无遮拦”的人 |
[04:03.82] | 父母可能会对那个孩子说“闭上你的嘴” |
[04:10.04] | 但这个话题已经够了 |
[04:13.23] | 我的嘴这么久一直没停 |
