里面的 I almost went bananas 是什么意思?
附上下文:
GOING POSITIVE
I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5:2, only bananas, no bananas—I almost went bananas, too.
Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness ratherthan weight, things began to change. Instead of saying “I want to lose three kilos”, I would say “I want to run two kilometres in eight minutes” or “I want to be able to do 30 push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.
Finally, I stopped comparing myself with actresses and models and looking for things that were wrong with my face or body. Instead, I made a list of the things I liked about myself. By being positive about myself and my body, I became both happier and healthier.
go bananas 习语,意思是“异常激动;发狂;狂怒”。如:
People went bananas with boredom. 人们闷得发狂。
She’ll go bananas when you tell her the news. 你要是告诉她这个消息,她会发疯的。
The kids went bananas and tore open the boxes. 孩子们兴奋异常,撕开了盒子。
The crowd went bananas [=went crazy] when the concert began. 音乐会开始时,人群沸腾起来。
原句意思:I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5:2, only bananas, no bananas—I almost went bananas, too.我试过无脂肪、低脂肪、5:2饮食法、只吃香蕉、不吃香蕉——(最后)我几近疯狂。
查了一下教材,书后面有解释的(网友粗心了吧):
这类问题是你查词典就可以解决的问题,无需问别人。要勤查词典,养成好习惯。
