口语:保密!
前一阵疯狂看了几部宫廷戏之后,我和室友先是大肆感叹:宫女实在太厉害了,能替主子保守那么多秘密!然后又暗自庆幸我们没生在那个年代,否则,就凭我们这么八卦,没两天就被拉出去斩了。 今天我们要说的口语就与“保守秘密”有关,叫做“mum's the word”(别声张、保密)。这种说法是莎士比亚在《亨利六世》里创造的。因为我们在读“mum”这个词的时候,两个嘴唇就会闭在一起,发出“嗡嗡”的声音,就好象把话都关在嘴里一样,这样别人就不会知道秘密了。 看下面例句:
Don't tell anyone about the surprise for Mr. Green. Remember, mum's the word. (别把给格林先生的惊喜告诉任何人。记住,保密!)
