There are many expressions with heart.One of them is “lose your heart to someone”.When that happens,you have fallen in love.But if the person who “won your heart” does not love you,then you are sure to have a “broken heart”.In your sadness,you think that the person you loved is “hard-hearted”,and in fact,has a “heart of stone”.
You may decide to “pour out your heart” to a friend.Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is,you may ask her to “have a heart”.You are asking your friend to show some sympathy(同情)for your situation.Your friend “has her heart in the right place” if she says she is sorry for how you feel.
If your friend says,“My heart bleeds(流血)for you”,she means the opposite.She is a cold—hearted person who does not really care about your situation.
When you are feeling afraid,“your heart is in your mouth”.You might say,for example,that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.
If that bank says no to you,do not “lose heart“.Be “strong-hearted”.Sit down with the banker and have a “heart to heart” talk.Be open and honest about your situation.The bank may have a “change of heart” and agree to lend you the money.Then you could stop worrying and “put your heart at rest”.

“How are you?” is a nice question.It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other,but “How are you?” is also a very unusual question.It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer.The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the Derson’s friend isn’t fine.The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine”,isn’t really an answer.They are simply other ways of saying “Hello!” or “Hi!”.
Sometimes,people also don’t say exactly what they mean.For example,when someone asks “Do you agree?”.the other person might be thinking,“No,I disagree.I think you’re wrong.”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly,so the other person might say “I’m not so sure.”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I have to go now.”Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse:“Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”The excuse might be real,or it might not.Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more,but it isn’t polite to say that.The excuse is more polite,and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,or finishing a talk,people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s part of the game of language.
