釋義:
mouth 嘴巴的意思,watering,流口水;字面來看是嘴巴流口水,in English, Having one's appetite enticed. 令人垂涎的
來源:
This expression is simple enough: 這個俚語很簡單The 'water' is not actually water, but saliva that your body will produce when you eat something.這里提到的water實(shí)際不是水,而是當(dāng)我們吃東西時候身體產(chǎn)生的唾液 Sometimes, a person can start this extra saliva production by just thinking about food. 有時候,人們在想到食物的時候就會開始產(chǎn)生唾液Thus, when food is on the mind, a person 'waters' at the mouth.因此,當(dāng)想到食物時,一個人的嘴巴就會濕;
舉例:
On the way home, I had the imagination of much mouth watering food on the table.
在回家的路上,我幻想著滿桌的可口飯菜。
You can see his mouth watering, let's start to eat right now.
看他那垂涎欲滴的樣子,快開始吃飯吧。
