在烘焙时,给面糊里加适量的 “鸡蛋 eggs” 是烤出香浓美味甜品的一个小窍门。但如果面糊里加了太多个鸡蛋,烤出来甜品反而会变得不好吃。英式习语 “over-egg the pudding 做布丁时鸡蛋放多了” 就用来形容这种 “画蛇添足” 的行为,也可以指 “夸大其辞而导致不被信任” 的做法。 例句Keep it simple when teaching grammar! If you over-egg the pudding with too much information, your students will not understand. I believed you at first, but you’ve over-egged the pudding now! I know you’ve been working a lot lately, but it can’t be true that you worked 22 hours yesterday! This soup tasted really boring before so I added some spices, but I think I’ve over-egged the pudding. There are too many flavours now! |
