  当有人称赞你是一个出色的歌手,可他心里却不是这样认为的,这时tongue in cheek这个词组就派上用场了,它的意思是“不诚恳的、言不由衷的、讽刺的、不能当真的”。


  Tongue in cheek最早出现在19世纪。有一种说法认为它起源于戏院。据说当时演员用舌头顶住腮部,这样就可以不让自己在不该笑的时候笑出声了。还有一种说法认为,在18世纪有人用舌头顶住腮部做鬼脸,这样就使tongue in cheek带有“不能当真”的意思了。


  一些和tongue连用的词如下:


  tongue-lash:责备;辱骂
  tongue-shy:羞怯得说不出话来的
  tongue-tie:短舌头
