地道表达
say a mouthful
1. 解词释义
Mouthful的本意是“吃一口饭菜”中的“一口”,而say a mouthful是美国的一个俚语,意思是“说话说得中肯,说到点子上”。Mouthful在这个俚语中的意思就是“重要而有洞察力的见解”。因此,对话中的“You have just said a mouthful.”的意思是“你说话说到点子上了。”
2. 拓展例句
e.g. The man who said we'd be frozen up in mid-January said a mouthful.
那人说一月中旬我们会冻僵的,他说得很对。
said a mouthful when you said we ought to organize the committee better.
你说我们应该把委员会组织得更好,你算说到点子上了。
e.g. Senator, I want to tell you that you sure said a mouthful when you said taxes are too high and you/'d work hard to lower them. Good to hear, and you can certainly count on my vote!
参议员你说税收太高,你要努力想办法来降低税收。我要告诉你,你说的完全正确。听到这样的话很高兴,我一定会投你一票的。
