你知道闭嘴除了“shut up”,还有什么说法吗?实际上外国人并不总是用“shut up”,今天小编给大家说说哪些地道短语可以表示闭嘴吧~

“嘘,别说了,好好听他说。”
"Button it, ok. I'm trying to think!"

4shut your pie hole/shut your cake hole
"Just shut your pie hole, man."
“闭上你的嘴!”
注:这句是《阿凡达》的台词哦!
有人说 pie hole 多用于美式口语,其实现在pie hole, cake hole 在英式美式中都很广泛应用,比如典型的英式电影《帕丁顿熊》里的老奶奶就是用“Shut your pie hole” ,老师也更喜欢用pie hole哦,这个说起来比 cake hole 更口语化。
