   释义:

  mouth 嘴巴的意思,watering,流口水;字面来看是嘴巴流口水,in English, Having one's appetite enticed1. 令人垂涎的
  来源:
  This expression is simple enough: 这个俚语很简单The 'water' is not actually water, but saliva2 that your body will produce when you eat something.这里提到的water实际不是水,而是当我们吃东西时候身体产生的唾液 Sometimes, a person can start this extra saliva production by just thinking about food. 有时候,人们在想到食物的时候就会开始产生唾液Thus, when food is on the mind, a person 'waters' at the mouth.因此,当想到食物时,一个人的嘴巴就会湿;
  举例:
  On the way home, I had the imagination of much mouth watering food on the table.
  在回家的路上,我幻想着满桌的可口饭菜。
  You can see his mouth watering, let's start to eat right now.
  看他那垂涎欲滴的样子,快开始吃饭吧。
