Tom平时总爱跟同事开玩笑，他自认为幽默感很强，但有时同事觉得他的玩笑有些过分，心里恼火却碍于情面没有讲出来。不过逐渐地同事们都疏远了他。Catherine知道这一情况后就对他说：You put your foot in your mouth.
You put your foot in your mouth.你说错话了。
“把脚放进嘴里？“没错，这是很离谱的事，这里的put可以指过去时也可以指现在时，如果感觉自己说错话了，就可以说I really put my foot in my mouth，这里的put是过去时。表示现在时怎么用呢？请看例句：If you keep your mouth shut 1 you will never put your foot in it. 假使你不开口就决不会说错话了。
【英语情景剧】
Jane：I don't understand why Jenny keeps away from me recently 2.
简：我不明白为什么Jenny最近疏远我了。
Shirley：Do you remember what you said 3 last weekend? You really put your foot in your mouth.
雪莉：你还记得上周末你说的话吗？你真的说错话了。
