　　Walk on eggs 令人想起放轻脚步走路。（www.51education.net整理）美国俚语以walk soft指言行平静：He walks a lot softer than before。（www.51education.net整理）指其人比以前文静得多。（www.51education.net整理）但是walk softly和walk soft不同，是源于圣经的成语。（www.51education.net整理）列王记上二十一章二十七节的旧英译：He (Ahab) rent his clothes... and went softly。（www.51education.net整理）在RSV译本中作...and went about dejectedly。（www.51education.net整理）见到walk softly是沮丧地走开（中译作：缓缓而行）。（www.51education.net整理）（寄自香港）
