[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
