Ever looked at the clock, realised you've done absolutely nothing, and suddenly felt the pressure? That's when someone might tell you to get cracking.

Tonight’s expression is get cracking. It means to start doing something quickly, especially when there's no time to waste. ⚡️🫠
Think of it as a friendly but urgent way of saying, “Come on, let's get started!” 🏃

💬 Examples:

> “We've got two hours before the guests arrive. We’d better get cracking.”
> «دو ساعت دیگه مهمون‌ها می‌رسن. بهتره زود دست‌به‌کار بشیم.»

> “Stop scrolling and get cracking on your assignment!”
> «دیگه گوشی رو بذار کنار و شروع کن به انجام تکلیفت!»

🎬 Scene tip:
You can say “get cracking on something” when you mention the task, or simply “get cracking” when the task is already clear. It's informal, so it works well with friends and colleagues 😎, but it's not the best choice for formal writing.

🔽 Example:

The new intern had barely joined the team when the manager gave her a complicated task. Everyone expected her to struggle, but she spotted the problem in minutes and came up with a clever solution. Later, her colleague turned to the manager and said, “She's as smart as a whip, isn't she?” The manager smiled. “Absolutely. She catches on faster than anyone I've worked with.”

کارآموز جدید به‌تازگی به تیم ملحق شده بود که مدیر یک وظیفهٔ پیچیده بهش سپرد. همه انتظار داشتن به مشکل بخوره، اما فقط چند دقیقه طول کشید تا مشکل رو پیدا کنه و یه راه‌حل هوشمندانه ارائه بده. بعداً، همکارش رو به مدیر کرد و گفت: «واقعاً خیلی تیزهوشه، نه؟»
مدیر لبخندی زد و گفت: «کاملاً. از هر کسی که تا حالا باهاش کار کردم، سریع‌تر مطلب رو می‌گیره.»

Tonight’s expression is as smart as a whip. 🤩🤓

It describes someone who's extremely intelligent, quick-witted, and quick to understand things. 🧠

💬 Examples:

> “My little sister is as smart as a whip. She figured out the puzzle in no time.”
«خواهر کوچیکم خیلی تیزهوشه. توی یه چشم‌به‌هم‌زدن معما رو حل کرد.»

> “You need someone as smart as a whip to handle a job like this.”
«برای انجام کاری مثل این، به کسی نیاز داری که واقعاً زبروزرنگ باشه.»

🎬 Scene tip: It's informal and conversational. The word whip here refers to the long, flexible tool used for striking. ➰
The comparison is figurative: it suggests sharpness and quickness, not that the person is physically strong!

🇮🇷 به‌نظرت چُغُلی‌مون رو می‌کنه؟


🔽 Example:

Mia had promised her little brother she wouldn't tell anyone about the broken vase. But when their mother walked into the room, she immediately noticed the mess.
“Who did this?” she asked.
Mia's brother looked at her nervously. “Don't tell on me, please!”
Mia hesitated. She didn't want to get him into trouble, but she also didn't want to take the blame.

میا به برادر کوچیکش قول داده بود که دربارهٔ گلدون شکسته به کسی چیزی نگه. اما وقتی مادرش وارد اتاق شد، بلافاصله متوجه خرده‌شیشه‌ها شد.
پرسید: «کی این کار رو کرده؟»
برادر میا با نگرانی بهش نگاه کرد و گفت: «توروخدا من رو لو نده!»
میا مکث کرد. دلش نمی‌خواست برادرش رو به دردسر بندازه، اما نمی‌خواست تقصیر رو هم گردن بگیره.

Imagine you're a kid, you've done something you're not supposed to, and your little brother is standing right next to you. Suddenly, he says, “I'm telling Mum!” Not exactly the kind of support you were hoping for!


Tonight’s expression is tell on someone. It means to report someone's wrongdoing to another person, usually someone in authority. 🗣

💬 Examples:

> “If you keep copying my homework, I'm going to tell on you.”
>
> «اگه همین‌طور به کپی کردن تکالیفم ادامه بدی، می‌رم چغلی‌ت رو می‌دم.»

> “Nobody told on him, even though they all knew what he'd done.”
>
> «بااینکه همه می‌دونستن چی‌کار کرده، هیچ‌کس لوش نداد.»

🇮🇷 الآنه که از کوره دربرم.


🔽 Example:

Mark had been stuck in traffic for almost an hour. When he finally arrived at the office, his coffee spilled all over his shirt. Then his colleague casually reminded him about a report he'd forgotten to send.
“Are you kidding me?” Mark snapped. “Can I have one peaceful morning?”
His colleague stepped back. Mark had clearly lost his temper. A few minutes later, he took a deep breath and apologised.

مارک نزدیک به یک ساعت توی ترافیک گیر کرده بود. وقتی بالاخره به دفتر رسید، قهوه‌ش روی کل لباسش ریخت. بعد هم همکارش خیلی خون‌سرد بهش یادآوری کرد که گزارش رو فراموش کرده بفرسته.
مارک با عصبانیت گفت: «شوخی می‌کنی؟ یعنی نمی‌شه یه صبح آروم داشته باشم؟»
همکارش کمی عقب رفت. معلوم بود مارک کنترلش رو از دست داده بود. چند دقیقه بعد، نفس عمیقی کشید و عذرخواهی کرد.

You know that moment when someone asks you one harmless question, and somehow it's the final straw?
You've had a terrible day, you're exhausted, and suddenly you snap 😤. Well, you've just lost your temper.

Tonight’s expression is lose one's temper. It means to become angry and temporarily lose control of how you express that anger. 😈😡

💬 Examples:

> “I know you're frustrated, but there's no need to lose your temper.”
> «می‌دونم کلافه‌ای، ولی لازم نیست از کوره در بری.»

> “He lost his temper when the waiter brought him the wrong order for the second time.”
> «وقتی گارسون برای بار دوم سفارش اشتباهی آورد، از کوره در رفت.»

🎬 Scene tip:
Pay attention to these two patterns: lose your temper with someone and lose your temper over something.
For example, “He lost his temper with me over a minor mistake.”
Also, you can say keep your temper when someone manages to stay calm. 🧘

🇮🇷 خودت هم سن‌وسالی ازت گذشته ها، همکار.


🔽 Example:

The company was looking for someone to lead its new project. When David suggested his former manager, one of the directors shook his head.
“Isn't he a little long in the tooth for this kind of job?”
David frowned. “He's got decades of experience. I'd say that's exactly what we need.”
The director smiled. Maybe age wasn't the problem after all.

شرکت دنبال کسی می‌گشت که پروژهٔ جدیدش رو مدیریت کنه. وقتی دیوید مدیر سابقش رو پیشنهاد داد، یکی از مدیران شرکت سرش رو به نشونهٔ مخالفت تکون داد.
«برای همچین کاری یه‌کم سنش بالا نیست؟»
دیوید اخم کرد و گفت: «اون چندین دهه تجربه داره. به‌نظرم دقیقاً همچین کسی لازمه.»
مدیر لبخندی زد. شاید سن‌وسال اصلاً مشکل نبود.
