你知道最短的英文句子是什么吗？ Funny English Facts (II) ★ “Go.” is the shortest sentence in the English language. ★ More people in China speak English than in America. ★ The word “listen” has the same letters as “silent.”

★ Spell “stressed” in reverse, and it becomes “desserts.” ★ The most used letter in the English alphabet is “E.” The “Q” is the least used. ★ Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a novel “Gadsby.” It has over 50,000 words—none of them with the letter E!

full of hot air Meaning: talking nonsense 夸夸其谈 Story: 当我们觉得一个人满口大话时，就会说他在“吹牛”。在英语中也有类似的表达。这个习语中的hot air并非指“热空气”，而是“空话、大话”的意思。想一想如果某人满肚子装的不是真才实学，而是膨胀的热空气，那一定是在“夸夸其谈”了吧！ Example: Don’t believe her. She’s full of hot air. 不要相信她。她在夸夸其谈。
