精講部分

This is absolutely true.
I got the tip straight from the horse's mouth.
straight from the horse's mouth常用來形容“消息絕對可靠”。據(jù)說，馬的乳門齒，乳中齒會隨著年歲的增長被永久門齒，永久中齒依次頂落，而且馬的切齒由于進食也會受到磨損，所以有經(jīng)驗的馴馬師常通過馬的牙齒來獲知馬的年齡。日常生活中，straight from the horse's mouth更常用來形容“消息等直接來自當事人”，表示絕對可靠。Tip原指關(guān)于賽馬的內(nèi)部消息，引申為“內(nèi)部情報，秘密消息”。
