stick in one's throat/gizzard/gullet 令人厭惡
【講解】
此語出自莎士比亞的《麥克白斯》的笫二幕第二場中麥克白斯的話：“But wherefore could not I pronounce‘ Amen ’? I had most need of blessing, and‘Amen’stuck in my throat. ”（可是我為什么說不出‘阿門’這個詞呢？我才是最需要上帝恩惠，可是‘阿門’這詞卻哽在我的喉頭。）
【對話】
A:They are the hest friends in my eyes.
A:我看他們兩個可真是好朋友。
B:Do you really think so?
B:你真這么認為嗎？
A:Yes.
A:是的。
B:Yesterday, our teacher praised Tom, right?
B:昨天老師表揚了湯姆，對吧？
A:Yeah, but what?
A:是呀，那又怎樣？
B:Didn't you see Jim's face, such praise of Tom stuck in his throat.
B:你難道沒看見吉姆的臉色嗎，他很惱火。
