اصلاحيه:

Esto me suena a chino, no me hables en chino
(It sounds Chinese to me, I don't speak in Chinese)

no me hables en chino = don't speak Chinese to me

توضيح:

صرف فعل hablar (صحبت کردن) بصورت نهي :

tú no hables
usted no hable
vosotros, vosotras no habléis
ustedes no hablen

پس بدين ترتيب ترجمه no me hables en chino ميشود: با من چيني صحبت نکن don't speak Chinese to me

tie yourself up in knots=سردرگم و گيج شدن در جريان توضيح يك مورد

1. نگران، عصبي و يا سر در گم بودن براي حل يک مشکل يا شرکت در يک مباحثه يا سخنراني.

2. سردرگم و گيج شدن در جريان توضيح يك مورد
