Someone who is silver-tongued is very good at talking to people — not just speaking clearly, but in a way that makes others like them, trust them, or say yes. News writers love it for politicians, lawyers, and people who sell things: a silver-tongued speaker.

Someone who is silver-tongued一個silver-tongued的人 is very good at talking to people非常會跟人說話——not just speaking clearly不只是講得清楚，but in a way that makes others like them, trust them, or say yes而是那種能讓別人喜歡他、信任他、或答應他的說話方式。News writers love it for politicians, lawyers, and people who sell things新聞寫手很愛用這個字形容政治人物、律師，還有賣東西的人：a silver-tongued speaker稱他們是a silver-tongued speaker（口才很好的講者）。

On the surface it is praise for a smooth, pleasant way with words. Though actually it can carry a small warning too, as if the person is so good at talking that you should keep your head.

On the surface表面上 it is praise for a smooth, pleasant way with words這是在稱讚一個人說話流暢、討喜。Though actually it can carry a small warning too不過其實它也帶著一點小小的警告意味，as if the person is so good at talking that you should keep your head好像在說這個人太會說話了，你最好保持清醒。

It is a little old-fashioned and bookish; in the street people are more likely to say “a good talker.” You usually put it before a noun (a silver-tongued lawyer). It is about speech, not about the metal, and not about singing.

It is a little old-fashioned and bookish這個字有點老派、文謅謅的；in the street people are more likely to say "a good talker."一般人比較會說「a good talker（很會講話的人）」。You usually put it before a noun (a silver-tongued lawyer)它通常放在名詞前面，像a silver-tongued lawyer這樣。It is about speech這個字講的是說話，not about the metal不是講那個金屬，and not about singing也不是講唱歌。
