如果一个人跟你喋喋不休地说教，中文中可以用“这话听得我耳朵都长茧了”来形容。英文里面类似的说法是talk one's ear off。例如：
例句-1：Stay away from Mr. Jones. He will talk your ear off if he gets a chance.
你得离琼斯先生远一些，如果让他逮着机会，他能跟你聊到你耳朵起茧。
Talk one's ear off意思是“没完没了地长谈”，我们再学个类似的习惯用语：talk a blue streak。两者虽然有相近的意义，但是却不完全一样。A blue streak原来指闪电，闪电一闪即逝，这个习惯用语描述的是“说话奇快无比”。例如：
例句-2：Susan is lovely, but she has one problem - she talks a blue streak. At dinner she chattered away so fast I couldn't get in a word edgewise. I doubt I'll ever ask her out again.
苏珊虽然长得可爱，但是她有一个问题: 她说话快得像放连珠炮。吃饭的时候，她劈里啪啦一个劲儿地说，快得我连半句嘴都插不上。我想我再也不会约她出来了。
再学个习惯用语：talk till you're blue in the face，按照字面来解释是“一直说到脸色发青”。它也表示没完没了地说话，但是同时还表示“说得口干舌燥、筋疲力尽”。例如：
例句-3：I talked to my son until I was blue in the face about how he needed to make good grades in high school to get into college. But his grades show that he wasn't really listening.
我跟儿子说想进大学就得在高中拿好成绩，我说得口干舌燥、筋疲力尽。但是儿子的分数说明他没真的听进去。
