Who you are calling an animal?A: 哈哈哈! 不是不是! 等会你听了节目就明白了! 不过现在，咱们先赶快来进入第一个单元，Learn a Word!Learn A Word Mince words今天我们要学的词是mince words. Mince is spelled m-i-n-c-e; and words w-o-r-d-s; mince words. Mince 是切碎，to mince words 就是把话说得婉转。这个短语通常用在否定句里，not to mince words 就是说话直接，不兜圈子。A frank person never minces words. 一个坦诚的人从来都是想什么说什么。Tell me what you think, and dont mince your words. 告诉我你的真实想法，直说，别兜圈子。弗朗索瓦.奥朗德击败现任总统萨科齐，当选法国总统。此前，The two candidates minced no words and traded insults in their only TV debate of the election campaign. 他们两人在总统选战的唯一一场电视辩论上唇枪舌剑，毫不留情地互相攻击。好的，今天我们学习的词是 mince words, mince words, mince words.A: So Kat, 你觉得我朋友Matthew怎么样? 我听说你们俩昨天去约会了!A: Well...hes ok, you know, he seems nice.... dinner was fine....A: What?

Come is spelled c-o-m-e; and clean; c-l-e-a-n. Come clean.女：大家都知道，clean 意思是“干净的”。Come clean 字面意思是“变得干净”，实际上它是“坦白承认，说出一切”的意思。我弟弟就是这样，这谎再也撒不下去了，He had to COME CLEAN. 不得不坦白交待了偷吃饼干的事情。在下面的例子里，这位妈妈最开始不愿意告诉女儿一件事儿，但后来她改变了想法，和盘托出。我们来听一听：M: Mom came out of the doctors office like everything was fine.
