Really?! 原来在英语里，我们可以用“cat got your tongue?”或者“has the cat got your tongue?" 舌头让帽叼走了吗？”来质问某人为什么不吭声。咱们先来听几个例句。

Examples

What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? I did say we'd use up all our money on the car!

A: Has the cat got your tongue? You usually go on about how amazing your boyfriend is.

B: We split up.

当某人无缘无故不说话时，我们就可以用 cat got your tongue 这个表达来询问原因。注意，这是一个非正式表达，请大家务必选择恰当的语境来使用它。
