問題詳情：

  Well, it’s time for Words and Their Stories. We present more expressions about food from Elnir Scardueli, a listener in Brazil.

   My mother believes you are what you eat. Then she’d always give us nutritious food. She likes serving us meat and potatoes, which can also mean the most important part of something. Here’s another expression about meat: one man’s meat is another man’s poison—one might like something very much while another person might hate it.

My father’s a good and honest person. People say he’s the salt of the earth. He’d never pour salt on a wound, or make someone feel worse about something. However, sometimes he tells us a story that seems bigger than life. So we have to take it with a grain of salt.

My husband makes enough money to support our family. So we say he brings home the bacon. He can cut the mustard(芥末), or do what is expected of him at work. Besides, he stands almost two meters tall, so it’s easy to find my husband in a crowd. He is a tall drink of water.

I take the train to work. It is not a pleasant ride because the train is so crowded that we are packed like sardines(沙丁魚).

When we fail to see problems at work, my boss tells us to wake up and smell the coffee. We need to pay more attention and fix the problem.

I once made a big mistake at the office and felt foolish. I had egg on my face.

Over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television. But I do not like football. It is not my cup of tea.

We hope this has given you food for thought and stay with us next time. Thank you.
