Oral Chinese:我不想白等。

English Way:I don't wanna wait till the cows come home.

(1)以前乳牛未经人工改造,每年都会有不产奶时期。在产奶时期,它们的乳房充盈,不挤奶会很不舒服,自然会主动回家让人挤奶;但在不产奶时期,要它们主动回家,真不知要等多久了。

(2)所以,till the cows come home 有“很久”“无期限”的意思。

(3)小叮咛:cow还有一个 很有名的短语:have a cow 发飙;生气;焦虑。Don't have a cow-it's no big deal.不要生气,没什么大不了的事儿。
