==【wear one's heart on one's sleeve】是什麼意思呢？==

wear one's heart on one's sleeve 是一個在對話或影片中會聽到的慣用語，sleeve 是「袖子」的意思，所以這個慣用語字面上的意思是「#某人將他的心穿在他的袖子上」, 但真的是這個意思或翻譯嗎？當你的朋友說 Gary always wears his heart on his sleeve, 你可別問說 "Really? What is his problem?" :)

那到底 wear one's heart on one's sleeve 是什麼意思呢？

大家可以想一下，當你的袖子上有東西，大家幾乎都看得到，因為太明顯了! 那當你把你的心穿戴在袖子上，別人是否很容易看到你的心呢？所以這個慣用語的意思就是「#一個人流露表現出自己的感情」, 而不隱藏壓抑自己的情感!

其實 wear one's heart on one's sleeve 是出自莎士比亞的戲劇《奥賽羅》裡的句子，意思是描述一個人容易流露自己的感情。也就是說「一個人容易把對某事或某人的想法和感受外露」, 然而，有時如此做，反而會讓有心人士趁機來佔你便宜或欺負你，所以「容易表露出自己的感情」有時反而會成為弱點。

這個慣用語中的 one's 是「所有格」的意思，可以是 your, my, his, her, Gary's, 端看你要用在誰身上!
