看绝望的主妇学英语习语:Cat Got Your Tongue
Cat Got Your Tongue: Used when someone has nothing to say; It is frequently used by someone who has the upper hand in a conversation. If a person cannot counter, or has nothing to say, then the other person can ask “don’t you have anything to say?” or “Cat got your tongue?”
中文释义: cat got your tongue:表示”你的舌头给猫捉住了吗?“一个人如果舌头被”借走“了,那还怎么说话呢?这个习惯用语是对一个不知为了什么而哑口无言的人说的。人们常用这句话促使沉默的对方开口说话。也就是中文中我们常说的“舌头打结”,适合吵架的时候用。
例句:Why won’t you answer my question? Has the cat got your tongue?(你为何不回答我的问题?你成了哑巴了吗?)
