【英语早间课堂】We are on the same page

 Good morning , everybody . This is the programme on the morning class. I'm Juliet. As usual , we'll go over the classical sentence which expresses a speaker's thinking is the same as another person: We're on the same page.

大家早上好，这是可可大讲堂的早间节目。我是Juliet. 和以往 一样，我们首先来复习一个可以用来表达一说话者和另一人的想法相同的经典地道口语：We are on the same page。地道的中文翻译是：我

们想到一块去了。

 

And today's topic is what the English for "说话小心点。"is.Please listen to a simple situational dialogue first and try your best to hunt it .

 

Mike : I think my father is kind of stupid.

Jane : Watch you tongue , or you are going to be published .

Now have you spotted¹ it? It is "watch your toungue" . This means "be careful what you are saying because you are saying the bad things". What kind of situation can be often used ? It's usually said to children when they say something unkind and rude. "Watch yourtongue."字面上的意思是看守住你的舌头。You could give your rein² to imagination. 想想你说话的时候你的舌头是不是在运动的，那你要 把握好运动的方向哦，朝着正确的轨道，而不要偏离轨道哦，那么引申出来就是“说善言”，勿说“不逊之言”，若是说不逊之言则要三思，

 

那“watch you tongue”地道的中文翻译就是：说话小心点。

Of course , we have more pure expressions which can express the

same meaning as "watch your tongue." They are as follows:

1. Watch your mouth. （注意你的嘴巴。）
