【點講 -- 噏到口唇邊】

有時候交談中會突然間忘記某字,然後我們會話:「唔好意思,噏到口唇邊!」但當你與外國人對話時遇到這情況,你點形容?"Sorry sir, I have just forgotten the word."或者有人會照譯!"the word is on my lip!"

NoNoNo~英文字不會在口唇邊,而是在舌尖。你可以咁講:
1. "Oh sorry! I have lost it on my tongue."
2. "The word is just sparkling at the end of my tongue."

這是「噏到口唇邊」的時刻。This is a tip-of-the-tongue moment.

萬一下次遇到類似情況,識做啦!
