聽到有人說I have a sweet tooth，你會怎么理解？其實，這個表達在英語里使用已經有幾百年的歷史了，意思是“我喜歡吃甜食”。那么，如果有人說I have a meat tooth的時候，你就不會不明白了吧？
Meat tooth refers to someone’s craving or fondness for meat. This term is a rhyming play on the well-known phrase sweet tooth, a craving or fondness for sweet food, which has been in the language for over 600 years.
Meat tooth指某人愛吃肉。這個說法沿襲了sweet tooth押韻規(guī)律，并進一步演繹。Sweet tooth在英語中流傳使用已超過600年，是人盡皆知的一個短語，用以形容對甜食的喜愛。
For example:
Others craved chocolate or cheesecake; I had a "meat tooth."
別人都鐘情于巧克力或奶酪蛋糕，我就愛吃肉。
