:v Talk nineteen to the dozen - 說話很快，喋喋不休 
💨
⇛⇛⇛今日短語
A dozen一打，是十二的意思。如果某人“talks nineteen to the dozen從十九說到十二”，這個表達的實際意思是說話語速很快。就好比在說十二個詞的時間内說了十九個詞，讓聽的人不知所云。
👉例句
Sorry, when I’m nervous I talk nineteen to the dozen.
I can’t understand my lecturer at all. He talks nineteen to the dozen. Someone should tell him to slow down.
It was a terrible first date. I talked nineteen to the dozen about my ex-girlfriend.
👉請注意
另一個和說相關的表達是 get a word in edgeways，意思是“插不進話，插不進嘴”。
👉例句
She’s such a chatterbox that once she starts it can be difficult to get a word in edgeways.
There were so many people asking questions after the lecture it was difficult to get a word in edgeways.
