當你非常非常surprised 的時候,一定會張大嘴巴。但是,你可要小心哦,嘴巴張?zhí)�,下巴可能�?ldquo;咣當”一聲掉地上了,所以別忘了用手托著點。
哈哈,開個玩笑啦。但是這個玩笑是有根據(jù)的,英語里確實有這樣一個短語 — someone‘s jaw drops 用來形容一個人really surprised, shocked or in awe.
但是這個短語卻不能說成 someone drops his/her jaw,因為nobody can drop his/her jaw嘛。
My jaw dropped when she told me how old she was.
I told him he can have my car. His eyes filled up with tears, his jaw dropped and then he gave me a big hug.
