用舌头说话 对多数人来说舌头是身体最忙碌的部分之一。我们既用舌头来品味也用它来说话。英语中有很多由tongue组成许多习惯用语，今天我们一起来学习一下吧。 1. a tongue-lashing 斥责、训斥 When I was ten years old, mother caught me smoking a cigarette in the backyard. She gave me such a tongue-lashing that Ive never touched another cigarette all my life. 我十岁的时候躲在后院抽香烟时给妈妈抓到了。她狠狠地训了我一顿，我一辈子再也没碰过香烟。 2. on the tip of your tongue 就在嘴边 Her name is right on the tip of my tongue - Helen something or other, what is her last name! 她的名字就在我嘴边，海伦什么的，她姓什么来着? 3. bite ones tongue 忍住不说 I really wanted to tell her what I thought of him but I had to bite my tongue. 我很想跟她说我对他的看法，但是我还是忍住没说。 4. find ones tongue 开口说话 She wanted to say something but couldnt find her tongue. 她想说话，但一时却说不出来。 5. cause tongues to wag 使（人们）议论纷纷、说闲话 |
