English term

boggle someone's mind

English to Romanian Other Other
Most people go into a store and if I were selling televisions to you or electronicequipment, by me telling you this has got a 20-feature split screen capacity, it could boggle yourmind. That's the features. If I show the benefit I might say, "Marty, how'd you like to be able towatch all seven stations concurrently and if something really good is happening be able to zero in onit and bring it up to screen instantly and go back, but always be able to preserve what's happeningon the others and come back and watch them? Well this multi-circuit storage-memory, 12-functionsystem has that capacity for you."

suna bine a sta mintea-n loc insa pentru acesta expresie exista variantele make one's brain reel, at (one's) wits' end.
