大家好，今天我們那分享一個非常有用且地道的表達——bite your tongue, 這個短語的含義不是指「咬住你的舌頭」，其正確的含義是：
bite your tongue 緘口不語； 忍住不說（希望某事不要成真）
I wanted to tell him exactly what I thought of him, but I had to bite my tongue.
我本想明確告訴他我對他的看法，可是不得不保持沉默。
I had to bite my tongue as my sister gushed about her new boyfriend yet again.
我必須緘口不言因為我的姐姐又在滔滔不絕地談論她男朋友。
A: "Oh, I don't think I'm going to get the job."
我覺得我得不到那份工作。
B: "Bite your tongue! You don't know that for sure."
請忍住別說，你不是很確定。
All I can do is to bite my tongue if I want to keep my job.
如果我想保住飯碗的話就要緘口不言。
