按照以往的套路,事情肯定没有表面看起来的那么简单。Go bananas的意思是精神错乱,发疯,发狂或者是非常酷爱、喜欢。据说这个词的起源是go ape(发疯,发狂),ape(类人猿),这就很容易让人将猿类与香蕉之间产生联想,猴子、猿、猩猩非常酷爱香蕉,看到香蕉高兴的好像要发狂的样子。由此就很好理解go bananas的实际意思了。1. To become irrational or crazy.▷I'll end up going bananas if I have to work in this cubicle for one more day!▷If I'm late again, my teacher will go bananas.2. To express great excitement about something in an exuberant manner. ▷The kids are going to go bananas when we tell them about the trip.▷She went bananas over the dress and bought one in every color.除了“go bananas”,我们还可以用drive someone bananas(crazy)来形容发疯。▷The student drove the teacher bananas.▷It drives me crazy seeing all these people just staring at their phones all day long.
