have a frog in one's throat核心语义为“喉咙不舒服，说话时因喉咙干燥、轻微炎症（生理原因）或紧张、激动（心理原因），导致声音嘶哑、卡顿，甚至暂时说不出话”。其本质是“描述临时的发声障碍”，需注意两个关键边界：

1. 时间限定：仅指“短期、临时”的嗓音问题，不可用于“长期嗓音疾病”（如声带息肉、慢性喉炎导致的嘶哑）；

2. 成因限定：需明确是“生理不适”或“心理情绪”引发，不涵盖“故意沉默”或“语言能力问题”（如口吃）。

固定语法结构为“have a frog in one's throat”（不可省略所有格“one's”，也可说“there be a frog in one's throat ”）。
