Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Expressões idiomáticas | | English term or phrase: "waiting for the other shoe to drop" | "They may be very good at their jobs, as experts, but they are always waiting for the other shoe to drop: a stiletto that will pierce their self-esteem, a boot that will squash their morale, or a flip-flop that will slap them down for their spirit."
Olá a todos! Sei que a expressão "waiting for the other shoe to drop" no texto acima significa "esperando pelo pior", mas gostaria de algumas sugestões de outras expressões idiomáticas em português que eu poderia usar para manter a riqueza do texto nas comparações que vêm a seguir. Não precisa ser necessariamente relacionado a sapatos, mas alguma outra metáfora. Ideias? Sugestões?
Obrigada! |
