Have you come across the phrase “cat got your tongue”? Well, unless a feline has actually latched1 onto your tongue (which would be an entirely different situation),“cat got your tongue” is a figurative2 expression that doesn’t literally3 mean what it says.你遇到过“猫抓住了你的舌头”这个短语吗?好吧,除非一只猫真的抓住了你的舌头(这将是一个完全不同的情况),否则“猫抓住了你的舌头”是一个比喻性的表达,并不是字面意思。
