  小编导读:酸甜苦辣的说的是味道,也是人生百态。味道背后的故事你都知道吗?
  1. EAGER
  1、热切
  The word eager goes back to the French word aigre, meaning sour. In English, it first took on the sense of sharp, biting, or severe. Then it took on the sense of intense or impatient, which developed into the "ready to go!" sense.
  eager这个词来自法语单词aigre, 意为“酸的”。英语中,最初的意思是味道刺激、辛辣的或者味道浓重。然后有了强烈和不耐烦的意思,逐步发展为“准备出发”这层意思。
  2. VINEGAR
