СХОЖУ С УМА (Английские идиомы)

Говорить правильно по-английски, конечно, очень важно. Но неплохо бы еще научиться разговаривать образно, ярко, эмоционально. А для того, чтобы эта образность легла вам НА ПАМЯТЬ, помогут мои рифмы, которые делают с памятью чудеса. Не обязательно заучивать поэтические опусы на память, просто несколько раз их перечитайте, если понравились.

Leaves a lot to be desired              Оставляет желать лучшего
To lose mind                                     Cходить с ума

This babysitter, who I hired,
She leaves a lot to be desired:
She isn’t neat, she is not kind,
Sometimes she seems to lose her mind.
She loves to rest, she loves to sit,
She doesn’t love to baby-sit.

Just in case                               На всякий случай
One should always…            Всегда следует…

Just in case, just in case.
Don’t forget to take your case,
Just in case, just in case.
One should  always know his place,
Just in case, just in case.

Nothing of  the kind             Ничего подобного
You read my mind               Ты читаешь мои мысли

Think twice                          Дважды подумай
To say nothing of…             Уж не говоря о…

Think twice before killing the mice.
Mice are so pretty, clever and nice.
Mice like buckwheat, to say nothing of rice.
Always think twice before killing the mice.

Don’t make eyes at me                         Не строй мне глазки
No chances                                                   Никаких шансов
I don’t care                                                   Мне безразлично
On my own                                                   Сам по себе
Leave me alone                                         Оставь меня в покое
From the bottom of my heart              От всего сердца
Poles apart                                               Полные противоположности

Don’t make eyes at me, no chances –
I don’t care for cheeky glances.
I like living on my own,
Would you leave me, please, alone.
From the bottom of my heart –
Me and you are poles apart.

The sooner the better                   Чем скорее, тем лучше
My God!                                                Боже мой!
Get fat                                                    Полнеть
Keep to a diet                                    Придерживаться диеты
Entirely different matter           Совершенно другое дело
Tell me the secret                          Открой мне секрет

My dearest granny, knit me a sweater,
The sooner the better, The sooner the better.
My God, I’m becoming wetter and wetter,
Bring me the umbrella the sooner the better.
My friend, you are getting fatter and fatter,
Keep to a diet,  the sooner the better
It’s an entirely different matter.
Tell me the secret the sooner the better.

If I were in your place (shoes)                   I’d never …

Если бы я был на твоем месте,   я бы никогда…

If I were in your shoes
I’d never buy these shoes.
If I were in your place

As old as the hills              Стар, как мир
As quiet as a mouse         Тихий, как мышь

And he lives in Tommy’s house.

До новых встреч.
