用英語(yǔ)“懂”英語(yǔ):Watch your potty mouth什么意思?
1)What does it really mean?
在職場(chǎng)中,甚至在日常生活中,你是不是聽到有人對(duì)你說(shuō):
Man,watch your mouth.Or even,watch your potty mouth呢?
I'll have some more examples for you.
1. Watch your (potty) mouth: Cursing in the workplace could get you fired.
2. Well there's no need to be a potty mouth about it, Rick. You could have just said no like a civilized person.
3.Watch your mouth! I don't care how you speak at home, that's not how we talk here in the public media.
2)Okay.I got you.
如果我們真心想用英語(yǔ)學(xué)并學(xué)好英語(yǔ),我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)除中文外,我們可以有很多英語(yǔ)可以用來(lái)理解英語(yǔ)Watch your mouth的意思。我們要做的就是強(qiáng)迫自己記住這些英語(yǔ),而不是絞盡腦汁去記它的中文。
1.Okay.I got.If we say Watch your (potty馬桶) mouth,we can also say:Watch your tongue! Watch your language!
2.If you watch your mouth,you pay attention to what you're saying.Pay attention to what you are saying! Do not say anything rude!
3.If someone is not watching their (potty) mouth,they're using very rude,dirty,offensive,abusive words in their talk.
我們需要通過(guò)英語(yǔ)訓(xùn)練,把這些英語(yǔ)“串”起來(lái),構(gòu)成“英語(yǔ)思維”。
當(dāng)然,如果你習(xí)慣用英語(yǔ)學(xué)英語(yǔ),“嘴臭”,“臭嘴”,“說(shuō)話放肆”等等都是(但不限于)你可以用來(lái)理解這句英語(yǔ)的中文。
