and hold my tongue meaning in English
而保持缄默
Examples
- A writer of russian said , “ covering up my eyes , bowing the head and holding my tongue , i did nothing
记得俄国作家恰达耶夫曾经说过： “我没有学会蒙着眼、低着头、闭着嘴爱自己的祖国。 - I did not feel as if i were in the company of a creature of my own species : it appeared that he would not understand , though i spoke to him ; so i stood off , and held my tongue , in great perplexity
我简直不觉得我是在陪着一个跟我同类的动物：看来即使我跟他说话，他也不会懂因此我只好非常惶惑地站开，也不吭声。
