¡El amor! Cuando estamos enamorados el cerebro libera una sustancia llamada feniletilamina, la cual suprime la sensación de hambre y sed.
Through thick and thin
¡Contigo pan y cebolla!
To split hairs
Buscarle (los) tres pies al gato
Better safe than sorry
Más vale prevenir que curar
Desperate times call for desperate measures
A grandes males, grandes remedios
To play by the book
El agua clara y el chocolate espeso
To be a Jack of all trades
Ser un todoterreno
To get down to business
Manos a la obra
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
¡Hoy por ti, mañana por mí!
To kill two birds with one stone
Matar dos pájaros de un tiro
To grab the bull by the horns
Coger el toro por los cuernos
Doing work you enjoy isn't a chore
Sarna con gusto, no pica
The early bird doesn't always catch the worm
No por Mucho Madrugar, Amanece Más Temprano
The early bird catches the worm
A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda
To look after number one
Barrer para casa
To help out
Echar un cable
To have connections
Ser o estar enchufado
Haste makes waste
Vísteme despacio que tengo prisa
To make a mountain out of a molehill
Ahogarse en un vaso de agua
Rome wasn't built in a day
No se ganó Zamora en una hora
No worries, you'll find it!
Lo que no se comen los ratones, sale por los rincones
No gimmicks, no tricks
Sin trampa ni cartón
To handle things tactfully
Tener mano izquierda
To be useless
Ser un cero a la izquierda
To backslide
Volver a las andadas
Slow but steady
Sin prisa pero sin pausa
¡Contigo pan y cebolla!
The common and very familiar Spanish expression contigo pan y cebolla is used in Spain in a humoristic way to let your significant other know "how deep is your love". The fact that a couple may not have a lot of money is not an obstacle for them to get married and live a happy life as long as they love each other. Bread and onions used to represent two types of food that are available to anyone and people with a certain social and economic status would never indulge in eating them, since they can afford a more varied and healthier diet. The idea of contigo pan y cebolla may be expressed in English with expressions like: with you through thick and thin; If I am with you I do not need anything else; through all the ups and downs; I'll forbear any burden in life being with you.
