美国习惯用语-第271讲:和word有关的习语
<p>对于电台广播来说，没有任何东西比字更重要的了。无线电广播最重要的工具是由一个一个字组成的讲话。今天我们就要给大家讲解两个由字这个字组成的习惯用语。字在英文里就是：<span word="word">word</span>。在英文里，由<span word="word">word</span>这个字组成的习惯用语有的很有趣，有的可以把字给吃了。这跟中文里的食言很相似。</p><p>我们在这次节目里要讲的第一个习惯用语就是这个意思。请大家先听一遍这个习惯用语是怎么说的。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="words">words</span>. 请大家注意，这里的<span word="words">words</span>是多数。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="words">words</span>当然不是真正地把字给吃了。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="words">words</span>作为习惯用语，它的意思就是：食言，说了话，或做了保证不能实现。也就是一个人说了话不算数。有的时候，<span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="ones">ones</span> <span word="words">words</span>可能会使自己很窘。比如说，一个人问朋友借钱，说好了一个礼拜以后还。但是，一个礼拜过了，他以为能收到的钱结果没有到，他只好去对那朋友说：</p><p>例句-1: <span word="Michael">Michael</span>, <span word="Im">Im</span> <span word="really">really</span> <span word="embarrassed">embarrassed</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="words">words</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="money">money</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="expected">expected</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="receive">receive</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="week">week</span> <span word="didnt">didnt</span> <span word="arrive">arrive</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="Im">Im</span> <span word="sure">sure</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="mail">mail</span> <span word="so">so</span> <span word="l">l</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="pay">pay</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="back">back</span> <span word="before">before</span> <span word="Saturday">Saturday</span>. 麦克，这回我不得不自食其言了。我真是感到非常难为情。我估计上个星期能收到一笔钱，但是没有到。不过，我肯定是在邮寄的路上。所以星期六之前我会把钱还给你的。</p><p>下面这个例子讲的是一个令人快乐的事情，虽然有人不得不承认错误。这是一个丈夫在说话：</p>
