內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

菲菲今天異乎尋常地安靜，這到底是為什么呢？是因?yàn)殇浺糸g里的那只貓嗎？可是貓和菲菲的舌頭有什么關(guān)系？聽(tīng)節(jié)目，學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)質(zhì)問(wèn)他人為什么不吭聲的俗語(yǔ)。

Rob
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. I'm Rob and joining me is Feifei.

Feifei
Hello.  

Rob
Bless you!

Feifei
(sneezes)

Rob
Are you ok? Have you got a cold?

Feifei
我沒(méi)有感冒，不過(guò)好像總覺(jué)得有什么東西弄得我鼻子癢癢。Errr... Rob, is that a cat on your lap?!

Rob
Yes. Meet Tiddles. I decided to bring him to the office because he gets lonely at home on his own... don't you Tiddley-widdly? It's a good idea, don't you think? Feifei? You've gone all quiet – you've usually got something to say. Feifei?

Feifei
(sneezes)

Rob
Can you speak? Cat got your tongue? 

Feifei
No! Your cat has not got my tongue – or anything else。我對(duì)貓過(guò)敏。

Rob
Oh dear Feifei - but saying 'cat got your tongue?' means 'you're very quiet' or 'you seem to have nothing to say'.

Feifei
Really?! 原來(lái)在英語(yǔ)里，我們可以用“cat got your tongue?”或者“has the cat got your tongue?" 舌頭讓帽叼走了嗎？”來(lái)質(zhì)問(wèn)某人為什么不吭聲。咱們先來(lái)聽(tīng)?zhēng)讉€(gè)例句。

Examples
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? I did say we'd use up all our money on the car!

A: Has the cat got your tongue? You usually go on about how amazing your boyfriend is.
B: We split up.

Feifei
當(dāng)某人無(wú)緣無(wú)故不說(shuō)話時(shí)，我們就可以用 cat got your tongue 這個(gè)表達(dá)來(lái)詢問(wèn)原因。注意，這是一個(gè)非正式表達(dá)，請(qǐng)大家務(wù)必選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z(yǔ)境來(lái)使用它。 

Rob
Oh I get it now. You weren't saying much because you were too busy sneezing!

Feifei
No, Rob. I was angry because you know I am allergic to cats – don't you remember me saying that I can't be in the same room as one? Rob? Rob! What's wrong? Cat got your tongue now?

Rob
No. It appears Tiddles needed the toilet... but it's too late now. I'm all wet!

Feifei
Oh Rob. You stink! I'm off. Bye.

Rob
Bye.
