寡言者智

    Still 是“静止的”，tongue是 “舌头”，wise 是“聪明的”，head是“头脑”。整句短语的字面意思连起来是“静止的舌头促成聪明的头脑”，这又是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: Please stop yelling at me. I can’t hear what you are saying, and your words don’t make any sense to me.

    B: I am just trying to defend my stance, but you don’t want to listen.

    A: Hey hey, your way of arguing is not acceptable to me. Have you ever heard the saying, “A still tongue makes a wise head?”

    B: I don’t care. I don’t need your suggestions.

    A: I don’t like your attitude!

    Note: “A still tongue makes a wise head” means that a wise person will keep a cool head and listen instead of yelling and dominating the conversation to try and make their argument heard.
