Quando estamos até o pescoço de problemas; Quando estamos cheios de pepinos para resolver Explanation: Não acho que exista um equivalente para a sua frase completa, mas daria para traduzir a ideia. http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/up to your neck in allig... Up to (one's) neck in alligators business adage The full expression is some variation of: "When you are up to your neck in alligators, it's easy to forget that the goal was to drain the swamp." It is easy to be so overcome or preoccupied by various tangential worries, problems, or tasks that one loses sight of the ultimate goal or objective. Seria mais ou menos algo como Quando estamos até o pescoço de problemas, é fácil perder de vista o objetivo maior. ou Quando estamos cheios de pepinos para resolver, é fácil perder o foco / se esquecer do que realmente é importante. Bom, vamos ver o que os colegas acham. Acredito que seja mais ou menos por aí... |
