Phrase heart
Text The word "heart," in this podcast, means the internal organ (body part) in one's chest that pumps or moves blood throughout one's body, adding oxygen to it: "As soon as he saw Olga, his heart began beating more quickly." The "heart" also refers to where one feels very strong emotions, especially love: "Look in your heart to understand what you really want." Or, "When Craig broke up with Lola, it broke her heart." The phrase "to put (one's) hand on (one's) heart" means to lay one's hand flat against the left side of one's chest: "At the beginning of baseball games, everyone stands up, puts their hand on their heart, and sings the national anthem." Finally, the phrase "from the bottom of (one's) heart" means sincerely: "Form the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best in your new job."
