Sweet tooth
 我最害怕看牙医,但是因为有一颗蛀牙让我实在疼痛难忍,所以只好鼓足勇气,到牙医诊所挂号。当医生为我检查的时候,他问我:“Do you have a sweet tooth?”我很无辜的回答:“I had a doughnut this morning before coming here. I brushed my teeth. There is no sweet tooth.”他听了后摇摇头,便开始替我补牙。

很敏感的我,知道可能答非所问,闹了笑话,但是却百思不解。我懂 Sweet 及 Tooth 这两个单字,但把这两个字放在一起合用,我就不知道意思了。回家查了字典后,我才恍然大悟,原来sweet tooth的意思是“爱吃甜食”。
