少说话

• He was sure to recover , the doctor said , but , in the meantime and for weeks to come , he must not walk nor move his arm , nor so much as speak when he could help it
  医生说他肯定可以复原，但今后这几个星期里，他不能走动，不能伤到胳膊，甚至于尽可能地少说话如果他能控制住自己的话。
• Then i got to be a professor of gymnastics , so as to make better use of my talents ; and then i was a sergeant fireman at paris , and assisted at many a big fire
  他尽可能少说话，似乎由于沉默寡言的缘故，他的性格越显得稀奇古怪，然而他的生活是很有规律的，一举一动总是那样准确而有规律，老是一个样子。
