英語(yǔ)早間課堂:We are on the same page 我們想到一塊去了

Good morning , everybody . This is the programme on the morning class. I'm Juliet. As usual , we'll go over the classical sentence which expresses a speaker's thinking is the same as another person: We're on the same page.

大家早上好，這是可可大講堂的早間節(jié)目。我是Juliet. 和以往 一樣，我們首先來(lái)復(fù)習(xí)一個(gè)可以用來(lái)表達(dá)一說(shuō)話者和另一人的想法相同的經(jīng)典地道口語(yǔ)：We are on the same page。地道的中文翻譯是：我

們想到一塊去了。

And today's topic is what the English for "說(shuō)話小心點(diǎn)。"is.Please listen to a simple situational dialogue first and try your best to hunt it .

Mike : I think my father is kind of stupid.

Jane : Watch you tongue , or you are going to be published .

Now have you spotted it? It is "watch your toungue" . This means "be careful what you are saying because you are saying the bad things". What kind of situation can be often used ? It's usually said to children when they say something unkind and rude. "Watch yourtongue."字面上的意思是看守住你的舌頭。You could give your rein to imagination. 想想你說(shuō)話的時(shí)候你的舌頭是不是在運(yùn)動(dòng)的，那你要 把握好運(yùn)動(dòng)的方向哦，朝著正確的軌道，而不要偏離軌道哦，那么引申出來(lái)就是“說(shuō)善言”，勿說(shuō)“不遜之言”，若是說(shuō)不遜之言則要三思，

那“watch you tongue”地道的中文翻譯就是：說(shuō)話小心點(diǎn)。

Of course , we have more pure expressions which can express the

same meaning as "watch your tongue." They are as follows:

1. Watch your mouth. (注意你的嘴巴。)

2. Watch your language. (注意你的措辭。)

3. Hold your tongue.(管好你的嘴巴。)( PS: this is an old way to

say "Stop talking ".)

4. Bite your tongue. (禍從口出。)

5. watch your tone.(注意你的語(yǔ)氣。)

Let's have a tea break, enjoying the music.
