Go Bananas !
Keep learning in our daily life ,and change the world with English . Welcome back to learn American English with teacher Jimmy ,this is Jimmy. Each time I'm gonna teach you a new word or phrase of American English, to help you better understand American culture and sound like a native speaker.
Today I'm going to talk about "go bananas". That's spelled "g-o-b-a-n-a n-a-s". What's the meaning ? Let's have an example first.
The Chinese box office is going bananas for “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” which easily surpassed the Expendables movie and other late summer films in ticket sales this weekend.
Tell Me More
Going bananas? When I say, you’re bananas, that means I think you’re crazy ,angry or mad at something, in a good way or a bad way.
Here’s a ‘bad way’ example: “Joey thinks he can still get us free tickets, even though the announcer just said they were all sold out.” “That's Joey ! He’s gone bananas.”
Here’s a ‘good’ way example: “Wow, my friends are going bananas for that new Planet of the Apes movie. They love that movie.”
You can go bananas, or you can be bananas. Example: “He’s bananas about that pretty girl.” US polls each year report that bananas are everyone’s favorite fruit.So If you tell an American you don’t like bananas, she might say, “You don’t like bananas? You must be bananas!”
将学习融入生活,用英文改变世界,欢迎大家继续收听和吉米老师学美语,我是吉米。每期节目我都会和大家分享一个美语单词或者短语,帮助大家更好地理解美国文化,同时把英语说得更地道。
今天我们一起学习的短语是“Go Bananas”。什么意思呢?我们先来看一个例子。
《猩球崛起之黎明之战》让中国票房陷入疯狂,也就是go bananas,轻松击败《敢死队3》及其他夏末大片。
当我说you’re bananas(你疯了),有可能是褒义也有可能是贬义。
我们来举个贬义的例子:“乔伊认为他还能帮我们搞到免费票,尽管广播里说票已经卖完了。”“那个乔伊啊!他已经疯啦”。
接下来看褒义的例子:“哇,我的朋友为那部《猩球崛起》疯狂了。他们爱死那部片子了。”
你可以go bananas,你也可以be bananas。比如:“He’s bananas about that pretty girl”(他疯狂地迷上了那个女孩)。每年美国民意调查都显示香蕉是每个人最喜欢的水果。如果你告诉一个美国人你不喜欢香蕉,她可能会说“你不喜欢香蕉?You must be bananas(你肯定疯啦)。”
