语言学习这玩意儿，跟其它的课程还是有些区别的，其中最主要的一点就是你得多张嘴、勤开口才行。这不，在外教 Lawrence 的课上最常听到他跟同学们说的一句话就是“Don't be as quiet as a mouse in the class, be bold and open your mouth! 不要在课堂上一声不吭的，大胆点儿，张开嘴巴!”

今天的这个短语大家倒是可以放心大胆地直译了~(as) quiet as a mouse，从字面儿上就看得出来，这肯定就是"像老鼠一样安静"的形容词啊，意思就是我们常说的“不声不响、一声不吭、偷偷摸摸”，是不是特有"蹑手蹑脚静悄悄飘过"的画面感？
