.כן יש אנשים במשתמשים ללא הרף בניבים באנגלית פעם זה נראה לי מיותר ..והכיף שלי היה לשבש אותם. אלא שקודם כל, על מנת לשבש אותם היה צריך להכיר בהם ולהכיר אותם ולדעת איך משתמשים בהם. אחרי שנים של תרגום והוראה של אנגלית,אני אוהבת ומשתעשעת מהיחוד שלהם בו לשפה, כמה הם ציוריים ומעשירים ובו זמנית מחייכים מתחת לשפם... :לשם שעשוע הנה קטע שלם שכתבתי - מונולוג הבנוי על טהרת משפטי ניבים I was so back and forth on this that I had ants in my pants and then you come barging in like a bull in a china shop. I yelled "get out of my face!", but now I am stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. So here I am burning the midnight oil, and I realize this is a hard nut to crack. I don’t want to bite the hand that feeds me, and it can still go over like a lead balloon. I might be stirring up a hornet’s nest. I should maybe hold my horses. Please don’t jump down my throat, I am not like a bull in a china shop. I won’t jump the gun. Just keep your hair on. In the meantime it’s running late. Take a peek - everyone is as snug as a bug in a rug. Except me. I must be nutty as a fruitcake and I don’t want to sit around waiting till the cows come home. But with all this monkey business, honesty is scarce as hen’s teeth, next thing they'll try and butter me up. I know you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, so I will just stay cool as a cucumber and they won’t catch on that I am a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Heavens to Betsy, they are going to pay through the nose, if they don’t bug off. That fat cat is in hot water --so why am I going to be in the doghouse? Yes I am skating on thin ice but I won’t bite the dust. I may just come up smelling of roses - if you keep your fingers crossed . I know, it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other, but once in a blue moon it might just work out. Sure I would leave it to you but you’re all thumbs and you just think I have a bee in the bonnet. It’s not in the bag you know. No we are not barking up the wrong tree and it might still be a red letter day.
