Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
“I’m not in the running for any big deal,” he said. “Besides, once bitten twice shy”
“You’ve been bitten more than once” Sally reminded him.
once bitten twice shy = the scalded dog fears cold water
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
