clam up什么意思呢？
这个也是我们之前学习过的一个短语。
clam本意指的是蛤蜊，
clam up这个动词短语意思是：
突然不说话，不做声（通常来说是因为他们害羞，或者是害怕说漏嘴招惹麻烦）
（口语）If someone clams up, they stop talking, often because they are shy or to avoid giving away secrets.
这样的画面是不是很容易联想起来蛤蜊突然把盖子盖上。
eg: He just clams up if you ask him about his childhood.
如果你问起他的童年，他会马上不再讲话。
eg: As soon as I told her my name, she clammed up.
我一告诉她我的名字，她马上不说话了。
eg: Everyone clammed up as soon as the check came.
账单一来，每个人都迅速默不作声了。
