妙语佳句，活学活用

1. That'll be the day

这个片语的意思是“That will never happen, that's very unlikely那不可能”，例如：You think I'll win the lottery? That'll be the day! 你以为我会中奖？那不可能！

这个片语本来是 that will be the day worth waiting for，后来简化为 that’ll be the day。

2. quit

这个词可以用来表示“停止或中断”，比如：The teacher asked them to quit talking. 老师要求他们不要说话。以后大家想要别人不要做某事可以有不止stop一个选择了。

3. run one's mouth

这个片语的意思是“to talk excessively or foolishy”，这里我们可以理解为“胡说八道，说个没完”。
