恒星口语讲堂:"喋喋不休"用英语怎么说?

talk one's ear off 喋喋不休

Talk one's ear off要是按照字面意思来解释就是: 跟一个人说话说掉了他的耳朵。你一定明白这是夸张的说法，就好比中文俗语：这话听得我耳朵都长茧了。这其实是在形容没完没了反反复复地对你说这话。那么talk one's ear off究竟是什么意思呢?

我们看个例子来琢磨。这个人要告诉我们他在火车上跟一个人相处时的经历。我们看看他这位火车旅伴说话有什么特别的地方。

On the train to New York I sat next to a man who talked my ear off about himself. He didn't even stop to catch his breath. It was the longest three hours I've spent in my life.

他在去纽约的火车上身边的旅伴跟他大谈特谈自己，而且说个没完没了，甚至连喘气的工夫都没有，使他觉得在车上渡过的那三小时简直长得漫无止境。

这个偶然相遇的人竟然一口气跟他谈了三个钟头，所以他说: talked my ear off，意思一定是对我喋喋不休地说个没完。
