二、mouthful的用法
mouthful的用法
You've just said a mouthful!
你说到点子上了!
名词mouthful的本意是吃一口菜、吃一口饭的“一口”(The amount of food or other material that can be placed or held in the mouth at one time),而say a mouthful是一个美国俚语,意思是,说得中肯,说到点子上。这句中,mouthful的含义就变为“重要而有洞察力的见解”(An important or perceptive remark)。
例句:
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。(一个人在赞扬一位竞选连任的参议员所发表的讲话)
三、a后面为什么用mouthful
a后面用mouthful表示一口,满嘴。
短语
at a mouthful一口;满口;一大口
a mouthful of一口
To say a Mouthful说得太正确了;说得太准确了
You just said a mouthful
意思是:你说的非常对,也就是称赞说话的人,表示同意。
mouthful,填满一张嘴需要的数量——满口、一口,非正式用法还可以指冗长而拗口的词或词组。拗口就是把你的嘴都占满了。
