How to say “a gota d’água” in English?
“The last straw.”
- Losing my job was bad enough but being evicted was the last straw.
(Perder meu emprego foi ruim o suficiente, mas ser despejado foi a gota d’água.) - She’s always been rude to me, but it was the last straw when she started insulting my mother.
(Ela sempre foi rude comigo, mas foi a gota d’água quando ela começou a insultar a minha mãe.)
A palavra straw tem algumas traduções diferentes, mas as principais podem ser canudo ou palha. Neste caso, a expressão faz referência a um conto árabe, onde alguém estava transportando palha nas costas de um camelo. A pessoa havia colocado muita carga e quando colocou apenas mais uma palha, a carga inteira desmoronou. Aquele então foi the last straw, ou seja, a última palha (que fez desmoronar tudo).
