<p>美国习惯用语-第155讲:<span word="Tight">Tight</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>/<span word="Tight">Tight</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="someone">someone</span></p><p>今天我们再给大家讲解两个以 <span word="tight">tight</span> 这个字为主的习惯用语。我们要先给大家介绍一个你们经常会用到的一个字,那就是: <span word="tight">tight</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>. <span word="Lip">Lip</span> 就是嘴唇。<span word="Tight">Tight</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span> 实际上就是中文里我们所说的:嘴巴很紧,也就是指那些说话不多的人。我们先来举个例子吧。这是一个人在说他的父亲。</p><p>例句-1:"<span word="My">My</span> <span word="father">father</span> <span word="fought">fought</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="World">World</span> <span word="War">War</span> <span word="Two">Two</span>. <span word="And">And</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="must">must</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="real">real</span> <span word="hero">hero</span> -- <span word="he">he</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="whole">whole</span> <span word="box">box</span> <span word="full">full</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="medals">medals</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="he">he</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tight">tight</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span> <span word="man">man</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="talks">talks</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="earn">earn</span> <span word="them">them</span>."</p><p>他说:「我父亲参加过第二次世界大战。他肯定是一个真正的英雄,因为他有一个盒子里全是奖章。但是,他是一个不多说话的人,他从来也没有说过他干了了些什么才得到这些奖章的。」</p><p>一个本性说话不多的人几乎在任何情况下都不太愿意告诉别人自己的心事,发表自己的观点。不过,<span word="tight">tight</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span> 也可以指那些平常挺爱说话,但在某件事上守口如瓶的人。下面这个例子就非常能说明问题。这是一个母亲在和朋友说她的女儿。</p><p>例句-2: "<span word="Mary">Mary</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="open">open</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="everything">everything</span>. <span word="Every">Every</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="tells">tells</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="sorts">sorts</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="happens">happens</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="school">school</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="lately">lately</span> <span word="she">she</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="tight">tight</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="boyfriend">boyfriend</span> <span word="Jack">Jack</span>. <span word="If">If</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="ask">ask</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="questions">questions</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="gets">gets</span> <span word="angry">angry</span>."</p>
