例句1：Did you hear that Sally and Bob are going to get married. I'm not joking. I heard it from Bob himself, so it's straight from the horse's mouth!
短语：from the horse's mouth
英文释义：If you hear something from the horse's mouth, you hear it directly from the person concerned or responsible.
短语解析：Straight from the horse's mouth，从字面上来解释它的意思是：直接来自马的嘴巴。可是，这个俗语的真正意思是：你听到的消息是真实的，因为这消息来自可靠的来源。因为远在人们还没有使用汽车的年代，人们是依靠马作为他们主要的交通工具，认为马是十分可靠的。
例句释义：你听说了没有，萨利和鲍勃要结婚了。我可不是开玩笑，我说的是实话。我是听鲍勃自己讲的，因此这消息是完全可靠的！
举一反三：I tell you I know for certain that Lisa will be promoted to manager. The boss told me himself, so it's straight from the horse's mouth!
这个人说：告诉你，我知道莉沙肯定会被提升为经理的。这是老板亲口告诉我的，这个消息是绝对可靠的！

例句2：I am so hungry, I could eat a horse.
短语：could eat a horse
英文释义：If you are very hungry, you could eat a horse.
短语解析：一匹马是比较巨大的，如果说你连一匹马都吃得下，当然是用了夸张的表达，表示非常非常饿，饿得能吃下一匹马那么多。
例句释义：我真是太饿了，我能吃下一匹马。
举一反三：After a hard day's work, John could eat a horse. 辛苦了一整天,约翰觉得饥肠辘辘。

例句3：To get married first and then get a job is getting the cart before the horse.
短语：Putting the cart before the horse
英文释义：When you put the cart before the horse, you are doing something the wrong way round. you try to do things in the wrong order.
例句释义：先结婚后找工作那可是本末倒置。
短语解析：马拉车，当然是车应该在马的后面,不能把车放在马的前面。所以呢如果你put the cart before the horse，那么你的做法是不对的，你的行为反过来了。这个短语的意思就是本末倒置，其中的put也可以替换为get，而cart还可以用carriage来表达。
举一反三：They had bought all their furniture before they had a house; this is really putting the cart before the horse! 他们还没有房子就买了全部家具,这真是本末倒置。
