在和这类人交往的时候，对于他们说的话，我们一定要学会仔细辨别，实事求是，不然就容易着了道，被坑了还不自知。
下面我们就来学习一个有意思的表达，能够精准地传达出这种“小心翼翼、半信半疑”的感觉：You have to take everything she says with a pinch of salt. 你对她说的话不能全信。 今天 Norah 老师就来好好跟大家讲讲这个句子：a pinch of 是一个单位，就是用手拿的“一小撮，少量”，so a pinch of salt, 就是“少许盐”。如果有炒菜经验的同学，可能就知道，加盐的时候我们应该要谨慎一点，不然一下加太多了就咸了。所以 take something with a pinch of salt, it means to not completely believe something that you are told, because you think it is unlikely to be true, 这个短语比喻的含义就是“半信半疑，不全信”。<article data-clipboard-cangjie="["root",{},["p",{"jc":"left","rPr":{"color":"#494949","fonts":{"ascii":"宋体","eastAsia":"宋体","hAnsi":"宋体"},"kern":0,"sz":11,"szUnit":"pt"},"windowControl":true},["span",{"data-type":"text"},["span",{"color":"#494949","fonts":{"ascii":"宋体","eastAsia":"宋体","hAnsi":"宋体"},"kern":0,"sz":11,"szUnit":"pt","data-type":"leaf"},"chip是薯片的意思，shoulder表示肩膀 got a chip on one" s="" shoulder可不要理解为肩膀上掉了薯片，而是指的一个人对过去发生的事情怀有怨气，耿耿于怀。"]]]]'="">我们在读这句话的时候，要注意 salt 这个单词的读音，中间的元音是/ɔː/, 然后加上辅音/l/, 这个辅音的/l/很多同学在读的时候直接就省略了，正确的应该是/sɔːlt/.
