What's your understanding of the saying “Loose lips sink ships”
You may regret saying things without thinking clearly.
Talking too much sometimes may cause a very bad result.
Unguarded talk may give useful information to the enemy.
loose lips sink ships 是美国的俚语,它源自二战期间,美国政府为了运输军火,征集了大量的商船。这时候一位船员在出海之际,忍不住在码头附近的一家咖啡馆,和女友进行电话告别。在电话里,船员将船队的所有出海信息,全部告诉了女友,让女友放心。
但是,一位伪装成商人的德国间谍正好坐在咖啡馆里,他默不作声地将消息传递给了德国的情报机构。茫茫大海中,当美国船队遇到德国潜艇,结局显而易见。于是,美国战争广告委员会创造了一个短语,“多嘴必沉船” (Loose lips sink ships),还专门把它做成了海报,提醒广大民众少说话,言多必失。
