Go bananas translation of the idiom. The juiciest English idioms about fruits. Translation and meaning of GO BANANAS in English and Russian

Fruit is a favorite summer treat for many people. Therefore, we decided to dedicate this article to fragrant juicy fruits, or rather idioms on English language about fruits. Find out which countries the British call banana republics and why you shouldn't compare apples to oranges.

Literally, a banana republic.

Meaning of the idiom:

That's what they say about poor countries where high level corruption and inflation, weak economy, low wages, etc.

History of the idiom:

This expression is also used in Russian, but it came to us from the USA. So, in 1870, an American businessman began to buy bananas in Jamaica and sold them in Boston at a huge markup. At the same time, bananas were cheaper than apples familiar to Americans and were much more nutritious. Of course, sales grew every day, and the United Fruit Company gradually formed, which was then transformed into Chiquita. This powerful corporation grew out of a small banana business and controlled most of the countries Central America where her banana plantations were located. In fact, the economy of these states was directly dependent on Chiquita, that is, on bananas. Therefore, they began to be called "banana republics."

Usage example:

They fear that their country will become a banana republic if the government doesn't adopt the measures required to pick up the economy. - They are afraid that their country will become banana republic if the government does not take the measures necessary for economic growth.

Literally, sour grapes.

Meaning of the idiom:

With these words, English speakers show a feigned disregard for what is not available to them. An example of such a situation: a person wanted to achieve something, but he did not succeed, and now he tells everyone that he did not really want to get what he wanted.

History of the idiom:

The origin of this idiom, which is also in the Russian language, is known to many. In Aesop's (as well as Krylov's) fable "The Fox and the Grapes", as you remember, the fox could not get the desired branch with berries, so she began to console herself with the fact that the berries were unripe:

Well!
Looks like he's good
Yes, green - no ripe berries:
You'll get the hang of it right away.

It is from this wonderful work that people took the idiom “green grapes”, which is used when a person pretends that he does not care that the desired goal has not been achieved.

Usage example:

My friend cannot afford to buy a new BMW, so she criticizes my car. But I know it is just sour grapes. - My girlfriend doesn't have money to buy a new BMW, so she criticizes my car. But I know what it is envy.

Literally - to overturn the cart with apples.

Meaning of the idiom:

This expression is used in a situation where a person, by his actions, ruined someone's plans, caused someone trouble or caused anxiety.

History of the idiom:

The idiom appeared at a time when there were no cars yet and merchants brought fruits and vegetables to the market in carts on horseback. The carts had to be level and stable, because round apples easily rolled off them. If someone imprudently moved the cart or inaccurately took apples, then the fruits rolled to the ground, easily fought and deteriorated, they were no longer sold. Thus, a sloppy person spoiled the plans for selling apples to the owner of the cart.

Usage example:

She was enjoying shopping until her husband upset the apple cart by taking away his credit card. - She enjoyed shopping until her husband ruined everything by taking his credit card.

These are so juicy and delicious English idioms about fruits, we have prepared for you. Study them, and in the meantime we will develop another useful material for you.

Native English speakers often use the names of food, products and dishes in a metaphorical sense in speech. Such idioms are especially common in . foreigners, even good level English is not always understood what is at stake: maybe a person is hungry? We have selected the most striking and useful examples of such expressions.

To go nuts - go crazy, get very angry or hysterical.

go nuts- colloquial synonym for expression go crazy. The idiom is very common in all English speaking countries, especially often so say in the US.

It is not clear how nuts ( nuts) connected with mental state person. It turns out very simply: in the mid-1800s, the word nut in English slang meant head. Gradually, the meaning of the word changed: people with strange or crazy behavior were called off their nuts, and then shortened to nuts. And then, by analogy with phrases go crazy, go mad or go insane started talking and go nuts.

Mother went nuts when she found out where we'd been. Mom was very angry when she found out where we were.

Another version of this idiom is drive someone nuts, to drive someone crazy (in a negative sense). This expression is used for annoying situations, while the verb is usually put in the Continuous form, for example:

Your music is driving me nuts. Your music drives me crazy.

To go bananas - become wild, fall into a hysterics or become temporarily insane.

This idiom is very similar to the previous one, although the product in it is already different - bananas instead of nuts. go nuts and go bananas are considered synonyms, but there is a slight difference between them. go bananas- usually a milder and temporary insanity, even just stupid behavior, while go nuts is to get really angry or really crazy. For example, for children who have played out, you can use bananas, but nuts would be an exaggeration.

Expression go bananas passed even more long haul before contemporary meaning. At first, dishonest and vile people were called that, comparing them with the bent shape of a banana. Then bananas they called spoiled and depraved personalities, then eccentric and strange, and only in the 60s the word began to mean "excited, wild, upset."

She went bananas when she met her favorite movie star. She acted like crazy when she met her favorite actor.

To be full of beans – to act like a madman, to be wild, full of enthusiasm.

A third food idiom that means "go crazy". Unlike the first two, it has a softer and more positive meaning: to be active, fun, too energetic, like crazy. This is what they usually say about restless children.

The idiom comes from the world of horse racing, beloved by the British. Beans have always been expensive and inaccessible to most, but satisfying and healthy food for horses. The horse that ate the beans before the race became more energetic and more likely to win. First to be full of beans talked only about horses, and then began to extend to people and animals in other situations.

Kids are always full of beans after breakfast. Children are always hyperactive after breakfast.

To spill the beans- speak up.

If you hear that someone spilled beans, don't be surprised: it's just an accidental overstatement or revealing a secret. This expression has the same roots from the world of horse racing as the previous one - to be full of beans. Horse owners hid from their competitors that they were feeding them beans to gain an even greater advantage. And if someone let it slip, they said about him that he "scattered the beans."

I'll tell you my secret, but don't spill the beans. I'll tell you my secret, but don't let it out.

To butter up- flatter, flatter.

Literally, the expression means "to lubricate with oil", but is often used figuratively about people who lavish compliments, praise and flatter someone in pursuit of their own goals. In Russian there is an analogue - "to cajole". Note that the up preposition is placed after the action object, for example:

Don't try to butter him up, it's useless. Don't try to flatter him, it's useless.

Easy as a pie/ piece of cake- a simple matter, simpler than simple.

One can argue with how easy it is to make a pie or cake. But you can’t argue with the meaning of idioms: the British and Americans say this about an easy task that even a child can handle.

Easy as a piece of cake often shortened to piece of cake, whereas easy as a pie always used in full.

Your task is a piece of cake. “Your task is simple.

To have/put all your eggs in one basket– to risk everything that you have, to put everything at stake.

The literal translation is to put all your eggs in one basket. So they say about people who relied on one thing or person and put everything on the line. If such a case fails, there will be no other options.

Experienced investors never put all eggs in one basket . – Experienced investors never risk everything.

To take something with a pinch/grain of salt– to perceive critically, not to trust, to be careful.

Literally, take it with a pinch of salt. So they either talk about skeptical people, or warn that you shouldn’t take something too seriously.

According to one hypothesis, the idiom was formed in English after the translation of the Natural History by the ancient Roman writer Pliny the Elder. In this book, he gave a recipe for an antidote for poisons, in which, after listing several ingredients that were quite dangerous for humans, followed by a pinch of salt, as if it could cancel all the side effects of other parts of the antidote. This expression began to be used metaphorically: “a pinch of salt” helps to remove everything superfluous from consideration.

According to another version, the Roman general Gnaeus Pompey the Great trained immunity to poisons by taking small portions of poisonous substances. To make them easier to swallow, he mixed them with salt. In the variant case, a “pinch of salt” helps to “swallow” and “digest” the perceived information.

The British choose pinch of salt, and the Americans grain of salt .

It's just my opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt. This is just my opinion, so don't take it too seriously.

To cry over spilled milk- useless regret for mistakes, tears will not help grief.

If a person complains about circumstances or mistakes in the past that cannot be changed, it is pointless, like crying over spilled milk. It is easier and more reasonable to wipe the milk - to correct the situation.

The idiom is usually used for small things rather than major life mistakes that are hard to fix.

I prefer to act rather than cry over spilled milk. I prefer to take action rather than regret mistakes.

A big cheese – important person, leader, leader, "big shot".

Cheese is one of the most important components of many English idioms. Londoners began calling important people "cheese" in the 19th century, often using expressions “He's the cheese” or “He's quite the cheese”. “Cheese” was also called good, high-quality, real things: “It's the real cheese”.

Why cheese? This question was answered by the author of the Anglo-Indian dictionary, Sir Henry Yule, who collected phrases and expressions created on the basis of a mixture of English and Indian languages. One of his interesting finds is the word chiz, so the inhabitants of India called any thing - thing. The Anglo-Indians began to call quality goods that way. Then definitions were attached to the word real or big, and it itself was transformed into a version more familiar to the British - cheese .

Speak to Mark, he's the big cheese in this company. – Talk to Mark, he is a big shot in this company.

A top banana- leader main man in a group.

Banana is also used to refer to important people in English. A big cheese and top banana are similar idioms with almost the same meaning. The only difference is that the “chief banana” is the single most important person in a company or group, while there can be many “cheeses”.

There is a version that is an idiom top banana appeared after one popular comedy in the burlesque theater, where the main actor received a banana after the climax. This joke became so famous that after the introduction, the people in the top positions were called bananas.

Who is a top banana in your class? Who is the leader in your class?

As cool as a cucumber- unperturbed, cold-blooded, calm in a difficult situation.

This idiom mixes two meanings of the word cool: cold and calm. The result is a play on words. Cold-blooded people in English are called cool. And cucumbers are cool to the touch because their skin is able to keep the flesh at a temperature about 11 degrees cooler than the air temperature. As a result, the phrase "cold as a cucumber" turned into "deadpan".

How can you stay as cool as a cucumber during the exam? How can you stay calm during an exam?

A bad egg- a dishonest, rude, worthless person, a black sheep.

Americans compare dishonest people to spoiled eggs. This is logical enough: from the outside, such an egg is no different from others, but if it is broken, it becomes clear that it is spoiled. The idiom has been in use since the 1800s and is prevalent in the United States.

Later as an antonym of the idiom a bad egg an expression appeared a good egg, which means an honest person who can be relied upon. It is less common and most often used to characterize American Scouts.

He turned out to be a bad egg in our group. He turned out to be the black sheep of our group.

A bad apple- a villain, a bad person in a group good people, black sheep.

A person can be not only a spoiled egg, but also a rotten apple. This idiom is slightly different from the previous one. If a bad egg is a dishonest or rude person, then bad apple is a person whose behavior interferes with others.

The idiom comes from the proverb a bad apple spoils the barrel One rotten apple can spoil the whole handful.

Michael is a bad apple in our group. Michael is the rotten apple in our group.

To over-egg the pudding- overdo it, overdo it.

The verb to over-egg is not found in dictionaries, but its meaning is easy to guess: laying too many eggs. Eggs are one of the most important ingredients in pudding, a favorite English dish. But if you put too many of them in an attempt to make the dessert tastier, the dish will fail.

He tried to behave like a nice person but over-egged the pudding. Everybody thought he was too mawkish. He tried to act like a nice person, but he overdid it. Everyone thought he was ugly.

To have bigger/other fish to fry- have better things to do.

Literally, the idiom translates as "fry a larger fish." It means more urgent matters or larger goals.

This expression has an analogue - bigger/other fish in the sea, which is used less frequently.

Don't distract me with this little thing, I have bigger fish to try. Don't bother me with this petty business, I have more important things to do.

To buy a lemon- buy a useless or defective thing.

When Americans buy something they don't need, it's called "buying a lemon." There are several hypotheses for the origin of this idiom. Lemons in the criminal slang of the 20th century called simpletons or losers - simpletons or losers. In the UK in the early 20th century, "handing a lemon" meant selling an ordinary product as being of very high quality. Perhaps the lemon is just a metaphor for situations that leave a "sour taste" behind.

Interestingly, in America there is a consumer protection law that gives the right to refuse low-quality goods (usually cars), and it is called lemon law- lemon law.

I want a new car, not a second hand one, because I don't want to buy a lemon. I want a new car, not a used one, because I don't want problems.

As keen as a mustard– very keen, interested, full of enthusiasm.

“Interested as mustard” is a very strange combination of words, in which at first glance there is no logic. This idiom is based on a play on words: the word keen there is one more meaning, besides "enthusiastic" - sharp, and Keene's is the name of the company that produces mustard. The phrase was formed in the same way as as cool as a cucumber .

This idiom is common in the UK and Australia, but rare in the US.

Charles is as keen as a mustard to get this role in the new play. Charles really wants to get this role in the new play.

Сup of tea- an easy or interesting thing for a certain person.

“My cup of tea” - this can be said about your favorite hobby, an interesting subject or a question in which you are well versed. The idiom is often used in negative sentences − not my cup of tea: A job you don't like.

The expression can be used in relation to both people and inanimate objects or activities.

My daughter's boyfriend is not my cup of tea, but she adores him. I don't like my daughter's boyfriend, but she loves him.

To know one's onions- to understand the topic.

This American expression literally translates to "know your bulbs." There were many similar idioms in the English language - to know one's apples, oats, oil , but only this has survived to our times.

It is not known exactly why the bow is associated with a well-known theme. Some say the idiom comes from an English surname onions, others are looking for clues in the topic of gardening. One thing is known for sure: in the 1920s, when this idiom appeared, America was the ideal environment for the formation of all sorts of strange phrases, so it is pointless to look for the roots of this idiom.

Alan is a perfect teacher, when it comes to his subject, he knows his onions. Alan is a great teacher, he knows his subject very well.

In the soup, to get/be in the soup- in a difficult situation, in a difficult situation.

This idiom is common in America. "To get into the soup" means to be in an unpleasant situation. There are many versions of its origin. Perhaps this expression was formed from the idiom to get into hot water, which has the same meaning.

If you managed to get out of a difficult situation, you can rephrase the idiom - to get out of the soup .

Now we got in the soup because of you. Now we're in trouble because of you.

Tough/sharp cookies– toughie, cool guy.

Hard nuts in English turn out to be "hard cookies". This is the name of strong, stubborn, persistent people who can stand up for themselves, know how to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. They may not look cool, just like the appearance of the cookies does not determine whether they are easy to crack.

Don't judge by his appearance, he's a tough cookie. Don't judge him by his appearance, he's a tough nut to crack.

Sour grapespretending you don't want a certain thing because you can't afford it feigned indifference, feigned disdain.

Sometimes people pretend they don't want a darling or good thing which they cannot afford or have access to. The English in this case say - "sour grapes." This expression comes from Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Grapes", where the fox was unable to get the grapes from the branch and declared them sour.

I really don't want a new car, it's not sour grapes. “I really don't want a new car, it's not feigned indifference.

It's like apples and oranges, to compare apples and oranges- to compare completely different things, a false analogy, to compare warm with soft.

"Compare apples and oranges" is what the English say when someone tries to compare things so different that it doesn't make sense. For example, if an apple is called bad because it does not taste like an orange.

This idiom is not unique to English: French, Spanish, and other European languages say "compare apples and peaches."

However, scientists argue that comparing apples and oranges is quite simple, as the two fruits are similar. This idiom has even inspired some scientists to conduct comparison studies, the results of one such project being published in the British Medical Journal.

They are brothers, but they are different like apples and oranges. They are brothers, but so different that they cannot be compared.

Egghead, egghead- intellectual, clever, egghead.

Egghead literally translates to "egg-headed". This definition came to Russian from English in the 1980s. It appeared in English in the 50s: according to one version, during the presidential election campaign in the United States, one of the candidates was bald, with a head that looked like a face, for which he was called an egghead.

Now this is the name given to very smart people, often "mad scientists", out of touch with reality. This expression is typical of American slang. The British equivalent of this word is boffin .

His parents are real eggheads, but he didn't go to college and works as a seller. “His parents are intellectuals, and he didn’t even finish college and works as a salesman.

If you come across an unfamiliar expression with food in English that cannot be taken literally, do not trust your intuition. It is rare to guess the meaning of an idiom. To butter up- this is rather an exception, more often the meaning of such English idioms is unexpected. Therefore, learn them by heart - even if it's not a piece of cake .
