 HE CAME IN HERE LIKE "A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP" This expression is very interesting for Spanish speakers considering the fact that it contains one of the symbols of Spain = "the bull". This expression can be used when describing someone that is not very careful about the way they move or behave. Example: "He came in here like a bull in a china shop and told us all to leave immediately" or "He was like a bull in a china shop, he didn't care about whether he knocked anything over". Hope that helps!

Hi Daniel! Just a quick question... Does "china" means porcelain (or something similar) in this case? Thanks!

The Spanish version is “como un elefante en una cacharrería”

Yes, "china" in English is the word used to name any porcelain stuff. There was a quite popular song, "China in your hands" that refers to that porcelain stuff, not the country. Deja una respuesta. |
