I drink cofee once in a blue moon
Ayda yılda bir kahve içerim
I am tikcled pink that I have passed the exam
Sınavı geçtiğim için çok heyecanlıyım
He eats like a pig
Çok fazla yemek yer
He took it like a man
Olgun bir şekilde kabul etti
He eats like a bird
Çok az yemek yer
He drinks like a fish
Çok içki içer
I slept like a dog
Çok güzel uyudum
My brother runs like a wind
Kardeşim çok hızlı koşar
My father is as bald as an egg
Babam kabak gibi keldir
He has a memory like sieve
Hafızası çok kötüdür
He came out smelling like a rose
Çok başarılıydı
He lives like a king
Kral gibi yaşar
She has a memory like an elephant
Hafızası çok kuvvetlidir
She took it like a duck to water
Onun için çok doğaldı
She looks like death warmed over
Çok gariban gözüküyor
He treats me like dirt
Bana çok kötü davranıyor
She treats me like a king
Bana kral gibi davranıyor
He sticks out like a sore thumb
Herkes tarafından farkedilen birisi
He works like a horse
Çok sıkı çalışır
He has a mind like a steel trap
Çok zeki birisi
He looks like a million
Harika gözüküyor
He went on like a broken record
Kırık plak gibi konuştu
She has something up her sleeve
Birşey planlıyor
He swears like a trooper
Çok küfür eder
She tells it like it is
Herşeyi olduğu gibi söyler
It works like a charm
Çok iyi çalışır
My mother wears the pants in the family
Evin hakimi annemdir
The news spread like a wildfire
Haberler çok hızlı bir şekilde yayıldı
The kids fought like cats and dogs on the street
Çocuklar sokakta kedi-köpek gibi kavga ettiler
My girlfriend is as cute as a button
Kız arkadaşım çok güzeldir
The teacher is hot under the collar
Öğretmen çok kızgındır
A good friend would give you the shirt off his back
İyi arkadaş senin için herşeyi yapar
We must tighten our belts now
Kemerleri sıkmamız lazım
I have been hoodwinked
Aldatıldım
That idea is old hat
Bu modası geçmiş bir fikir
Guests are given the red carpet treatmen in Turkey
Türkiye'de misafirlere çok iyi davranılır
Let's go out and paint the town red
Hadi dışarı çıkıp şehrin altını üstüne getirelim
I always look at the world through rose coloured glasses
Dünyaya her zaman pembe gözlüklerle bakarım
When I bought a summer house she was green with envy
Yazlık ev aldığımda kıskançlıktan deliye döndü
Don't look so blue! Try to be optimistic
O kadar karamsar bakma! Biraz iyimser olmaya çalış
John is a true blue friend
John çok sadık bir arkadaştır
This money is my golden oppurtunity to buy a new car
Bu para yeni bir araba almak için altın gibi bir fırsat
I don't have a red cent
Tek kuruşum bile yok
Mary talks like a blue streak
Mary çok konuşkandır
He sees red whenever he loses the match
Ne zaman maçı kaybetse kendini kaybeder
I am in a red
Boğazıma kadar borca battım

Body Language Speaks Louder Than Words
by Lydia Ramsey
Has it ever occurred to you how much you are saying to people even when
you are not speaking? Unless you are a master of disguise, you are
constantly sending messages about your true thoughts and feelings
whether you are using words or not.
Studies show that your words account for only 7% of the messages
you convey. The remaining 93% is non-verbal. 55% of communication is
based on what people see and the other 38% is transmitted through tone
of voice. So think about it. In the business setting, people can see
what you are not saying. If your body language doesn't match your
words, you are wasting your time.
Eye contact is the most obvious way you communicate. When you are
looking at the other person, you show interest. When you fail to make
eye contact, you give the impression that the other person is of no
importance. Maintain eye contact about 60% of the time in order to look
interested, but not aggressive.
Facial expression is another form of non-verbal communication. A smile
sends a positive message and is appropriate in all but a life and death
situation. Smiling adds warmth and an aura of confidence. Others will
be more receptive if you remember to check your expression.
Your mouth gives clues, too, and not just when you are speaking. Mouth
movements, such as pursing your lips or twisting them to one side, can
indicate that you are thinking about what you are hearing or that you
are holding something back.
The position of your head speaks to people. Keeping your head straight,
which is not the same as keeping your head on straight, will make you
appear self-assured and authoritative. People will take you seriously.
Tilt your head to one side if you want to come across as friendly and
open.
How receptive you are is suggested by where you place your arms. Arms
crossed or folded over your chest say that you have shut other people
out and have no interest in them or what they are saying. This position
can also say, "I don't agree with you." You might just be cold, but
unless you shiver at the same time, the person in front of you may get
the wrong message.
How you use your arms can help or hurt your image as well. Waving them
about may show enthusiasm to some, but others see this gesture as one
of uncertainty and immaturity. The best place for your arms is by your
side. You will look confident and relaxed. If this is hard for you, do
what you always do when you want to get better at something - practice.
After a while, it will feel natural.
The angle of your body gives an indication to others about what's going
through your head. Leaning in says, "Tell me more." Leaning away
signals you've heard enough. Adding a nod of your head is another way
to affirm that you are listening.
Posture is just as important as your grandmother always said it was.
Sit or stand erect if you want to be seen as alert and enthusiastic.
When you slump in your chair or lean on the wall, you look tired. No
one wants to do business with someone who has no energy.
Control your hands by paying attention to where they are. In the
business world, particularly when you deal with people from other
cultures, your hands need to be seen. That would mean you should keep
them out of your pockets and you should resist the urge to put them
under the table or behind your back. Having your hands anywhere above
the neck, fidgeting with your hair or rubbing your face, is
unprofessional.
Legs talk, too. A lot of movement indicates nervousness. How and where
you cross them tells others how you feel. The preferred positions for
the polished professional are feet flat on the floor or legs crossed at
the ankles. The least professional and most offensive position is
resting one leg or ankle on top of your other knee. Some people call
this the "Figure Four." It can make you look arrogant.
The distance you keep from others is crucial if you want to establish
good rapport. Standing too close or "in someone's face" will mark you
as pushy. Positioning yourself too far away will make you seem
standoffish. Neither is what you want so find the happy medium. Most
importantly, do what makes the other person feel comfortable. If the
person with whom you are speaking keeps backing away from you, stop.
Either that person needs space or you need a breath mint.
You may not be aware of what you are saying with your body, but others
will get the message. Make sure it's the one you want to send.
