[口語(yǔ)]“喋喋不休”用英語(yǔ)怎么表達(dá)?

如果一個(gè)人跟你喋喋不休地說(shuō)教，中文中可以用“這話聽(tīng)得我耳朵都長(zhǎng)繭了”來(lái)形容。英文里面類(lèi)似的說(shuō)法是talk one's ear off。例如：

例句-1：Stay away from Mr. Jones. He will talk your ear off if he gets a chance.

你得離瓊斯先生遠(yuǎn)一些，如果讓他逮著機(jī)會(huì)，他能跟你聊到你耳朵起繭。

Talk one's ear off意思是“沒(méi)完沒(méi)了地長(zhǎng)談”，我們?cè)賹W(xué)個(gè)類(lèi)似的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)：talk a blue streak。兩者雖然有相近的意義，但是卻不完全一樣。A blue streak原來(lái)指閃電，閃電一閃即逝，這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)描述的是“說(shuō)話奇快無(wú)比”。例如：

例句-2：Susan is lovely, but she has one problem - she talks a blue streak. At dinner she chattered away so fast I couldn't get in a word edgewise. I doubt I'll ever ask her out again.

蘇珊雖然長(zhǎng)得可愛(ài)，但是她有一個(gè)問(wèn)題: 她說(shuō)話快得像放連珠炮。吃飯的時(shí)候，她劈里啪啦一個(gè)勁兒地說(shuō)，快得我連半句嘴都插不上。我想我再也不會(huì)約她出來(lái)了。

再學(xué)個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)：talk till you're blue in the face，按照字面來(lái)解釋是“一直說(shuō)到臉色發(fā)青”。它也表示沒(méi)完沒(méi)了地說(shuō)話，但是同時(shí)還表示“說(shuō)得口干舌燥、筋疲力盡”。例如：

例句-3：I talked to my son until I was blue in the face about how he needed to make good grades in high school to get into college. But his grades show that he wasn't really listening.

我跟兒子說(shuō)想進(jìn)大學(xué)就得在高中拿好成績(jī)，我說(shuō)得口干舌燥、筋疲力盡。但是兒子的分?jǐn)?shù)說(shuō)明他沒(méi)真的聽(tīng)進(jìn)去。
