give是給，lip是嘴唇，但give lip不是“親嘴”，別搞錯(cuò)了！

但是連在一起卻不是你以為的意思的搭配

give lip就是其中之一

為什么呢

因?yàn)閘ip其實(shí)除了“嘴唇”

還有這個(gè)意思

the act of arguing with someone in a way that is rude or does not show enough respect

失禮的話(huà)，唐突的言語(yǔ)

例：

That's enough of your lip, young lady!

放尊重些，姑娘!

所以give lip的意思其實(shí)是

to speak rudely or disrespectfully to someone; to sass someone

粗魯?shù)鼗虿蛔鹬氐貙?duì)某人說(shuō)話(huà);對(duì)某人出言不遜

非常類(lèi)似于我們頂嘴的過(guò)程，

不管在哪吃虧，

嘴肯定不能虧，

口吐狂言必須有!

例：

That rude young boy gave me some lip when I asked him to stop smoking.

我讓那個(gè)粗魯?shù)男∧泻e抽煙時(shí)，他頂了我?guī)拙渥臁?/p>

She gave her neighbour some lip because she was in bad mood.

她因?yàn)樾那椴缓枚鴨芰怂泥従訋拙洹?/p>

my lips are sealedmy lips are sealed

=I will not tell anyone; I will keep this a secret.

我不會(huì)告訴任何人;我會(huì)保守秘密的。

seal的意思是“封閉，密封”，把我的嘴封上，就是我會(huì)守口如瓶的，我嘴很緊的。

例：

A: "Please don't tell anyone about this, I'm so embarrassed."

請(qǐng)不要告訴別人，我太丟人了。

B: "Don't worry. My lips are sealed."

放心，我會(huì)保守秘密的。

on everyone's lipson everyone's lips

什么東西在每個(gè)人的嘴上?當(dāng)然是說(shuō)的話(huà)啦，某個(gè)話(huà)語(yǔ)言論從大家的嘴里廣泛的說(shuō)出來(lái)，就是每個(gè)人都在議論都在討論的事情。是不是非常形象?

=being talked about by a lot of people

廣為談?wù)摰?，議論紛紛的

例：

The question now on everyone's lips is "Will he resign?"

目前大家議論紛紛的話(huà)題是：他會(huì)辭職嗎?

今天的內(nèi)容都學(xué)會(huì)了么?

歡迎評(píng)論交流心得~
