The origin of the expression
据说以前人们常从小溪中直接取水饮用，可能无意中将青蛙的卵吞下肚子里。当时人们就相信，卵会在人们的喉咙里化成青蛙，哽住你的喉咙，使你说不出话来，因此就产生了这样一个词语。
2. the first floor/the ground floor
When I first visited New York, I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk at the entrance, I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor, but couldn't find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor. Why did she give me the wrong information X (128 comments
