There are many expressions that use vegetables and fruits. For example, a cucumber is a long, green vegetable that people often eat in salads. You might say a person is as cool as a cucumber(黄瓜) if he never seems to worry about anything and stays calm in a stressful situation.
If two people are very similar, you might say they are like two peas in a pod. There are several expressions about beans. If someone is very energetic, you might say she is full of beans. If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans, you mean it is of little importance. I might say you don?t know beans about a subject if you do not know anything at all about it. But if you spill the beans, you tell something that was supposed to be a secret.
Potatoes are a popular food in many areas. But something is considered small potatoes if it is not important. You probably would not want to hold a hot potato in your bare(赤裸的） hands. This also means a problem or issue that no one wants to deal with. Someone might call you a couch potato if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no physical exercise. Finally,let us talk about lemons.Lemons have a sour taste if you eat them plain.But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water.So here is an expression about lemons that we like: If life gives you lemons,make lemonade.This means you should always try to make the best of a bad situation.
