今日短語
并不是所有的時候大家都能夠和平相處，難免有爭執的情況發生。當這些爭吵變得非常激烈，雙方說話尖銳，態度也很強硬的時候，我們就可以用 at each other’s throats “卡住對方的脖子”來形容他們激烈爭吵，對峙、互不相讓的狀態。
例句

請注意
我們可以用 have a lump in your throat “喉嚨里有一塊東西”來形容因為心情激動，尤其指由于悲傷引起的哽咽欲泣的感覺。
例句
It always brings a lump to my throat when I look at photos of my children when they were babies.
The smell of that perfume always brings a lump to my throat. It was my mum’s favourite before she passed away.
