英语单词\"mute as a fish\"的用法讲解
\"mute as a fish\"是一个常用的英语习语,指一个人保持沉默或缺乏会话交流的能力,就像一条鱼一样。这个短语通常用于描述某人不发表意见或提供帮助的情况,尤其是当他们被问及某个话题或 社交场合时。
此用法源于古希腊哲学家阿里斯托忒勒斯的寓言,其中一条鱼因为声音太低而无法传达它得到的信息,因此它被认为是\"哑巴的\"。这个寓言后来被转化为一个短语,用于描述那些无法表达意见的人。
例如:
- John is as mute as a fish when it comes to discussing his personal life.
(当涉及到讨论他的私人生活时,John像一条静默无语的鱼。)
- The new employee was mute as a fish during the meeting, he didn't offer any new ideas.
