we were friends like peas and carrots

问题描述:

we were friends like peas and carrots

We are friends like peas and carrots.
我们是形影不离的好朋友.
peas and carrots来源于美国俚语.豌豆和胡萝卜丁,一个圆的,一个方的;一个红的,一个绿的.它们的共同点是虽然没有太大的味道但营养非常高.故在美国烹饪时做为主食的点缀,而且它俩都是同时出现.所以,翻译成汉语最贴切的说法莫过于“形影不离”了.
著名奥斯卡获奖影片《阿甘正传》中就有这样的句子:
We were like peas and carrots.
