中式英语口语错误讲解

97. 自己打自己的嘴巴

[误] My arrogant neighbor was fooled by a three-year-old child. It\'s really like beating his own face.

[正] My arrogant neighbor was fooled by a three-year-old child, and he had to eat crow.

翻译：我那骄傲的邻居居然被三岁小孩愚弄了，真是自己打自己的嘴巴。

讲解：eat drow（吃乌鸦）是个地道的美国口语，它指“做使自己丢脸的事”，如“被迫收回成命或承认错误”等。用在这里既能准确表达愿意，又十分地道。

更多口语例句：
Eventually all of the drow were looking up.
最后所有的卓尔精灵都向上看去。
