12月07日voa英语听力练习

Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each of them.
Hot is a simple, easily understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word hot. But not always, as we shall see.
The words hot potato, for example, give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression, hot potato.
The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States. Many people like baked potatoes, cooked in an oven or fire.  Imagine trying to carry a hot, baked potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so.
Now we are getting close to the meaning of hot potato.
每一种语言都有自己独特的词语和表达方式。我们可以讲一个故事逐一讲述。
Hot是一个非常简单易懂的单词。许多由hot组成的短语也是如此。而情况并不总是这样，我们来看一下。
例如，hot potato这个短语，你从字面上完全看不出这个短语的意思。
potato，马铃薯，在美国是一种非常受欢迎的蔬菜。许多人喜欢烘烤，在烤箱中烹调或烧烤。想象一下，用手拿着一个热的，刚刚出炉的马铃薯是什么感觉。肯定非常困难，甚至会感到疼痛。
现在，我们已经接近hot potato这个短语的意思了。
