这些是供你做“用英语想英语”训练用的英语。
读到下面的英语习语(idioms)时，你不是习惯性的去“想”：中文什么意思了？而是努力让自己“回想”起它是的“英语意思”。坚持锻炼，你能做到“见英语想英语”的那一天，你的英语思维能力和口语能力都不会太差了。
1) A hot potato
1. Speak of an issue (mostly current) which many people are talking about and which is usually disputed
2. A sensitive situation or controversial issue that is difficult to handle and thus gets passed from one person to the next (like a potato that is too hot to hold).
3. If a subject or problem is a hot potato, it is very difficult to deal with, especially because it is something that people argue about a lot. Examples：tightening the gun laws, pricing policy
2) A penny for your thoughts
1. A way of asking what someone is thinking
2. What are you thinking about?
3. I would give you a penny if you tell me your thoughts.
4. People say a penny for your thoughts when they want to know what someone is thinking. Example：You've been awfully quiet tonight, honey—a penny for your thoughts?
3) Actions speak louder than words
People's intentions can be judged better by what they do than what they say.
4) Add insult to injury
1. To further a loss with mockery or indignity; to worsen an unfavorable situation.
2. To make a bad situation worse
3. To hurt the feelings of a person who has already been hurt.
4. If someone or something adds insult to injury, they make a bad situation worse by doing or causing another bad thing. Example1：First, the basement flooded, and then, to add insult to injury, a pipe burst in the kitchen.
Example2：My car barely started this morning, and to add insult to injury, I got a flat tire in the driveway
5) At the drop of a hat
1. Meaning: without any hesitation; instantly.
2. Freely; immediately.
3. If you do something at the drop of a hat, you do it willingly and without hesitation. Example：I don't have any vacation time yet at my new job, so I can't just travel at the drop of a hat.
千万不要去“想”中文，你能静静地纯粹地“享享”英语么？
