習語來源
It's easy to picture where this 20th-century American expression came from. Imagine buttons on people's lips. Someone who wanted you to stay quiet, keep a secret, and not say a word would tell you to button your lip. Today some people also use the expressions "button it up", "zipper your mouth", and "put a cork in it".
很容易想像這個習語的來源，我們想像在嘴上扣個紐扣。有人想讓你保持安靜，或者不要洩露秘密，不要說一個字的人就會用這個習語，還有"button it up", "zipper your mouth",和"put a cork in it"。
