          Some expressions straight from the horse’s mouth.

          Words and their stories: hold your horses!

          Now, the VOA Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

          Today, we tell about "horse" expressions. In the past, many people depended on horses for transportation, farming and other kinds of work. A lot of people still like to ride horses. And, horse racing is also popular. So it is not surprising that Americans still use expressions about the animals.

          Long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.

          Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I told them to hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing. My two boys like to compete against each other and play in a violent way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.

          We live in a small town. It does not have any exciting activities to offer visitors. My children call it a one-horse town.

          Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.

          Sometimes you get information straight from the horse's mouth. It comes directly from the person who knows most about the subject and is the best source. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow. You could say you got the information straight from the horse's mouth. However, you would not want to call your teacher a horse!

          You may have heard this expression: You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. That means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.

          Sometimes a person fights a battle that has been decided or keeps arguing a question that has been settled. We say this is like beating a dead horse.

          In politics, a dark-horse candidate is someone who is not well known to the public. Sometimes, a dark horse unexpectedly wins an election.

          Another piece of advice is, do not change horses in midstream. You would not want to get off one horse and on to another in the middle of a river. Or make major changes in an activity that has already begun. In the past, this expression was used as an argument to re-elect a president, especially during a time when the country was at war.

          horse around: 哄鬧,胡鬧

          one-horse town: 鄉村小鎮。one-horse的意思是“力量有限的,小的”,如one-horse show(小型展覽會)。

          wild horses could not drag me away: 直譯是“野馬也不能把我拉走”,即任何事情都不能阻止我做我想做的事。

          straight from the horse's mouth: 來自權威和可靠的消息

          You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink: 強扭的瓜不甜
