广播电视英语短句 第 260 课：特有的词汇-1

Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each of them. 每一种语言都有它特有的词汇及其表达方式。

Hot is a simple, easily understood word. 热是一个简单、易懂的词。

So are most of the expressions made with the word hot. 由“热”组成的大多数表达也一样（简单、易懂）。

But, not always, as we shall see. 但是，正如我们将看到的，不一定。

The words "hot potato", for example, give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression, hot potato. 例如，“烤山芋”根本就让你搞不清它表达的意思是“困境”。
