美国习惯用语-第204讲:Bad-mouth
<p>美国习惯用语-第204讲:<span word="Bad">Bad</span>-<span word="mouth">mouth</span></p><p>今天我们要讲的两个习惯用语都是以"嘴巴"这个字为主的。嘴巴在英文里就是: <span word="mouth">mouth</span>。嘴巴毫无疑问是人体最重要的部份之一。吃东西吸收营养要靠嘴，表达自己的思想也要靠嘴。然而，嘴巴也可能是一个危险工具。中国人常说:"病从口入，祸从口出"。</p><p>现在我们先来讲第一个习惯用语。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="bad">bad</span>-<span word="mouth">mouth</span>. <span word="Bad">Bad</span>就是好坏的坏。在<span word="bad">bad</span> 和 <span word="mouth">mouth</span>之间有一个连结号。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="bad">bad</span>-<span word="mouth">mouth</span>是一个动词。要是你<span word="bad">bad</span>-<span word="mouth">mouth</span>某个人，你就是说这个人的坏话，企图损坏他的名誉。下面这个例子说明在日常生活中<span word="to">to</span> <span word="bad">bad</span>-<span word="mouth">mouth</span>是怎么用的。这是一个人在说他的朋友萨利。</p><p>例句-1: <span word="I">I</span> <span word="really">really</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="tired">tired</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="hearing">hearing</span> <span word="Sally">Sally</span> <span word="bad">bad</span>-<span word="mouth">mouth</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="father">father</span>. <span word="She">She</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="anything">anything</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="them">them</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="yet">yet</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="decent">decent</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="everything">everything</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="wants">wants</span>.</p><p>他说:萨利老是说她父母怎么不好。我真是听得烦死了。她从来也没有说过他们什么好话。然而，我知道他们都是很好，很正派的人。不管萨利要什么，他们都给她。</p><p>总的来说，美国人认为在背后说别人坏话是很不礼貌的。这并不是说美国没有那些爱搬弄是非，一天到晚东家长，西家短的人。但是，一般来说，讲别人坏话都是跟家里的人或很熟的朋友。所以，上面这个例句里说话的那个人肯定跟萨利很接近。</p>
