1. Put foot in mouth 说错话,说屎话
I really put my foot in my mouth when I told the boss the woman in front of us is butt-ugly, because it turned out she was his wife.
我真是说屎话——我对老板说前面的那个女人长得奇丑,哪知她就是老板娘。
释义:本义是把臭脚放进嘴里。
2. Put in a good word 推荐,美言
Can you put in a good word for me to get that project?
你能帮我美言几句,让我得到那项工程吗?
