“一家十五口”，打一漢語成語，你知道是什么？答案就是——“七嘴八舌”。

“七嘴八舌”，字面意思是“seven mouths and eight tongues”，比喻人多嘴雜，你一言我一語，議論紛紛，可以翻譯為“l(fā)ively discussion with everybody trying to get a word in”或“all talking in confusion”。

其反義詞為“鴉雀無聲”，表示“utterly quiet; not a sound could be heard”。

例句：

公告一宣布，大家就七嘴八舌地議論開了。
The moment the announcement was made, a lively discussion started; everyone was anxious to put in a word.

再次斷電，大家七嘴八舌議論紛紛。
People kicked up a dust when another power failure occurred.

等他一講話， 會(huì)場鴉雀無聲。
When he spoke at the meeting, you would hear a pin drop.
