Hello,every HJers.I'm Alvin.This is my first time to be a host of Listen and Speak English.The weather in June is rainy or cloudy.In some provinces,the rain was heavy and the wind was strong.We believe sunshine came after rain.Ok,let's begin

The sentence of today is Lily has such a sweet tooth,she hardly eats anything else but cakes.do you konw what it means?maybe you will translate like this 莉莉太爱吃甜食了，除了蛋糕外她基本什么都不吃 or除了蛋糕几乎不吃其它东西,do you think is funny?perhaps you konw the meaning,but when you translate into Chinese,you will pull your leg.so the meaning of this sentence is 莉莉太爱吃甜食了，以至于除了蛋糕外她很少吃别的东西.and today's core phrase is sweet tooth

Definition: A great love for candy and sugar. 定义：喜欢甜食
The orign of this phrase(Etymology): This is an old phrase, dating back to the 1300s. In the phrase, 'tooth' refers to appetite or the thing that is chewed, rather than the tooth itself. 词源：这个短语很早就开始使用了，始于十四世纪。在这个短语中， 'tooth' 是指能引起人的食欲的，有嚼头的东西，而并非是指我们平时 所说的牙齿.
