button表示：用紐扣扣緊；button your lip字面意思是像扣子一樣扣緊你的嘴唇，實際就是：閉嘴；住嘴；閉口不談。
【例句】
Our boss plans to promote Bob, who is neither responsible nor capable. But you'd better button your lip and not say a word against it, because Bob is nobody but the boss's brother-in-law.
老板打算提升Bob這個既不負責責任又不能干的人，然而你最好還是閉口不提反對意見，因為Bob是老板的內(nèi)弟。
Her boss ordered her to zip my lip.
她的老板命令她住口。
