　　迷你對(duì)話

　　A: I think you should not have participated in the election of students chairman! You are a nice student editor.

　　我認(rèn)為你不應(yīng)該參加學(xué)生會(huì)的競(jìng)選的，你是個(gè)很好的學(xué)生編輯。

　　B: Yes. You have just said a mouthful. Maybe I cando nothing but that.

　　是的，你說到點(diǎn)子上了。也許我只會(huì)做編輯。

　　地道表達(dá)

　　say a mouthful

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Mouthful的本意是“吃一口飯菜”中的“一口”，而say a mouthful是美國的一個(gè)俚語，意思是“說話說得中肯，說到點(diǎn)子上”。Mouthful在這個(gè)俚語中的意思就是“重要而有洞察力的見解”。因此，對(duì)話中的“You have justsaid a mouthful.”的意思是“你說話說到點(diǎn)子上了。”

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. The man who said we'd be frozen up in mid-January said a mouthful.

　　那人說一月中旬我們會(huì)凍僵的，他說得很對(duì)。

　　e.g.You said a mouthful when you said we ought to organize the committee better.

　　你說我們應(yīng)該把委員會(huì)組織得更好，你算說到點(diǎn)子上了。

　　e.g. Senator, I want to tell you that you sure said a mouthful when you said taxes are toohigh and you/'d work hard to lower them. Good to hear, and you can certainly count on myvote!

　　參議員你說稅收太高，你要努力想辦法來降低稅收。我要告訴你，你說的完全正確。聽到這樣的話很高興，我一定會(huì)投你一票的。
