有意無意做錯事，說錯話的情況是很經(jīng)常的。下面我們要講的一個俗語就是無意中說錯了話而傷害了別人。這個俗語就是：to put your foot in your mouth。
例如：When Sally told that silly joke about the sailor with one leg she really put her foot in her mouth. She didn’t know the man across the dinner table had a brother at home in a wheelchair.
薩莉吃晚飯時說了一個笑話，她拿一個只有一條腿的水手開玩笑。她可不知道坐在飯桌對面那個人的哥哥就是個殘廢，行動都得靠輪椅。
Sally如果事后了解情況的話肯定會說：Well, I certainly have put my foot in my mouth.
又如： I certainly put my foot in my mouth at the party last night when I asked Mister Brown to say hello to his wife for me. Somehow I’d forgotten that his wife died six months ago.
我昨晚在那個聚會上無意中說錯了話。我讓布朗先生替我向他的太太問好。不知怎么回事，我忘了他太太已經(jīng)在半年前去世了。
