BODY IDIOMS Part IV
|
And a few more body idioms in Japanese from Chiyon:
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
耳にたこができる
(みみにたこができる)
| This literally means to “have sore ears.” |
I think it is common for parents to have to tell children many, many, many times to clean up their stuff. Just think of your own childhood–or, maybe I was just an unusual child… ^^;
And when these children hear the same thing over and over from their parents, especially when they are being scolded or receiving a lecture, they get an earful and are tired of it. In such a situation, you use this expression.
その話は、耳にたこができるほどなんども聞かされた。
sono hanashi wa, mimi ni tako ga dekiru hodo nandomo kikasaretaI heard that for the umpteenth time.
先生が、うるさく何度も同じことを注意するので、耳にたこができた。
sensei ga, urusaku nando mo onaji koto o chuui suru node, mimi ni tako ga dekita.I’m sick and tired of my teacher lecturing me over and over.
(あしがぼうになる)
| This literally means “one’s legs change to sticks.” |
If you are not used to walking a lot, and suddenly walk for a long time one day, your legs get sore and you feel like you can’t take another step. If your legs feel like they are not your own legs anymore, you can say “足が棒になる.”
町を一日中散策して、足が棒になった。
machi o ichinichijuu sansaku shite ashi ga bou ni natta.I strolled around town all day long and I walked my legs off.
足が棒になるほど、歩き回る。
ashi ga bou ni naru hodo, aruki mawaru.I walk and walk till my legs become like a sticks.
