What's the matter?
你怎么了？
I've got this bad toothache again!
我又牙疼了！
Blame my mother for giving me a sweet tooth, Li.
都怪我妈妈给了我一颗甜牙齿，李。
Yes you are very sweet and you always bring us nice chocolates and sweets.
嗯，你人很好，你总是带美味的巧克力和糖果给我们吃。
But why should you blame your mother for this great quality – your kindness?
但为什么要责怪你妈妈给了你这项美好品质——你的善良呢？
Oh that's very sweet of you Li,
噢，李，你真是太好了。
but the phrase to have 'a sweet tooth' is another way of saying
但是有“一颗甜牙齿”是说
that someone craves sweet food all the time,
有的人时时刻刻都想要吃甜食，
such as sweets, desserts and chocolates.
比如糖果、甜点和巧克力。
I see.
我明白了。
So when you say someone has a sweet tooth
所以你说某人有颗甜牙齿的时候
you mean this person likes sweet-tasting food,

such as sweets, chocolates and desserts.
比如糖果、巧克力和甜点。
Oh that's right, yes.
对，就是这样。
