اصطلاح
👉 “If the shoe fits, wear it,“ which means “if a description applies to you, then accept it.“
قطعاً، بدون شک
Usage in a movie ("Sex and the City"):
⠀
- This way.
- Aren't I a little old to be introduced as your boyfriend?
- Point taken. From now on, you'll be my man-friend.
- That sounds like a dog.
- Well, if the shoe fits...
📌Origin: 'If the shoe fits, wear it' is often shortened to 'If the shoe fits...', leaving the listener to fill in the blank. The expression is the American version of the earlier British phrase 'If the cap fits, wear it', which is also still in general use. 'If the cap fits' is itself a version of a yet earlier phrase 'if the cloak sitteth fit', that is, 'if the cloak fits well'. This expression dates from the 16th century.
از عبارت If the shoe fits, wear it برای تصدیق یا تایید یک ویژگی فردی در کسی به کار میرود. بر فرض مثال کسی از شما میپرسد که آیا او احمق است، شما میتوانید با این عبارت آن ویژگی را تایید کنید. این عبارت معمولا به طور کوتاه شده به کار میرود (!If the shoe fits).

This hyperbolic expression alludes to the Roman writer Pliny's description of Homer's Iliad being copied in so tiny a hand that it could fit in a nutshell. For a time it referred to anything compressed, but from the 1500s on it referred mainly to written or spoken words.

در زمان روم باستان، فردی توانسته بود داستان ایلیاد هومر را به قدری خلاصه روی کاغذی بنویسد که آن کاغذ در مغز گردو یا فندق جا می شد. از این جا اصطلاح "خلاصه" یا "لب مطلب" به صورت in a nutshell بیان می شود.
