很多人應該知道 humble 的意思是 謙虛
但是什麼叫 吃了一片謙虛派?
其實這當然只是一種比喻的說法
意思是講一個人 得到了謙虛的教訓/學到謙虛的道理

比如:

The team ate a piece of humble pie when they lost the championship game.
(這支隊伍因輸了冠軍賽而學到了謙虛的教訓)
David ate a piece of humble pie when he failed the English exam.
My boss ate a piece of humble pie when the client pointed out his mistake.

重連英語 · Rewired English

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
