Neil: Good idea. Let me write my shopping list while we listen to some examples of the use of this expression that has nothing to do with the actual fruit:

　　Im so happy that I finally got my promotion. Yesterday I went bananas! I ended up running around the office, hugging and kissing my boss and every single co-worker! They probably thought I was mad.

　　After the team scored its fourth goal in the final the fans went bananas and started to shout and jump up and down!

　　Neil: So to go bananas is not an expression about food but about behaviour. It means to behave in a very over-enthusiastic way, like youve gone crazy an explosion of happiness!

　　Li: 是啊，你这激动的情绪也感染我了，现在我也想去买点什么， 咱买不起大船，但是我可以买条小船儿，可以在浴缸里玩儿一玩儿或者拿到湖里区去玩儿玩儿，然后再去动物园。

　　Neil: The zoo? Why the zoo?

　　Li: 我们说了半天香蕉，我很想去动物园去看看猴子，买一些金黄色的香蕉喂喂猴子! Shiny golden bananas!

　　Neil: The colour of gold! The most beautiful colour there is! Golden bananas

　　Li: Here is another one, 再在给你一个。

　　Neil: The monkeys might even think that theyve won the jackpot too!

　　Li: Goodbye!
