迷你對話：

A:Mother shouted at me just now. I was to scared to find my tongue.

我媽媽對外大嚷，我嚇得說不出話來。

B:Why? I think she is always kind to you. You must have done something wrong. What did you do?

A:I only lost her favorite CD.

地道表達：

find one’s tongue

解詞釋義：

togue作為名詞，有“語言”的意思，如mother tongue中的tongue；find作為動詞，意為：找到，找回，尋求，尋得。所以，find one’s tongue字面意思是“找回某人的語言”，引申為“終于能夠開口說話，終于說得出來”。

支持范例：

Eg.The frightened girl at last find her tongue and tell us the whole story.

驚恐不安的女孩終於開口了把整個經(jīng)歷告訴了我們。

Eg.My son found his tongue to tell me the truth that he cheated in the exams last night.

我的兒子在昨晚終于開口說實話，他在考試中作弊了。
