6 分钟Welcome to the Aid is english podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co host, Sochil.
And today we have a new kind of episode.
This is what I like to call idiom academy.
And so I've got three idioms, and I thought that we could just describe these idioms for our listeners out there and tell them what they mean.
Give them some examples.
So the first one is curiosity killed the cat.
So, Socrates, what does that mean when we say curiosity killed the cat?
Curiosity killed the cat is usually used in a context of talking to small children, or it can be used for anyone.
But a lot of times it's like you don't want curiosity to get the better of you, because that could be the death of you, literally or figuratively.
It could end up in a bad situation.
Right?
It's often like someone says, should I.
Should I do this?
You know, and then you say, like, curiosity killed the cat.
Like, don't.
Don't even stick your nose in that business, because once you get involved, you could find yourself in serious trouble.
You know, I'm trying to think of some good examples where, you know, curiosity, uh, killed the cat might, um, you know, might be appropriate, but, um, I think.
Yeah, go ahead.
You see, like, uh, something shady going on, but it's really not your business.
