美国街头常用英语俚语P-14: Put foot in mouth / Put in a good word (mp3和文本下载)

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？
