リーダーズダイジェスト11月号の "Tame Your Blood Sugar Forever!" と題した記事に興味を覚える表現と覚えたい表現がありました。
When you need a quick pick-me-up, do you reach for lollies, a gooey Danish, a sugary doughnut, perphaps a packet of biscuits? These "fast acting" foods are handy (they're called convenience foods after all), and they take no time at all to dissolve in your stomach. Then they race into your bloodstream, flooding your body with blood glucose and you're raring to go.
まず "pick-me-up" を調べます。
・OneLook Quick Definitions: a tonic or restorative (especially a drink of liquor); anything with restorative powers
・Dictionary.com: 1. an alcoholic drink taken to restore one's energy or good spirits.; 2. any restorative, as a snack or coffee.
次の "raring to go" は慣用句の様な気がしますが、とりあえず "rare" で辞書を見ましたが "rare" にも動詞の用法もあるようですが、上の文にあう適当な説明は中々見つかりません。そこでやはり慣用句として調べ直して見ると次ぎの三つの辞書に "raring to go" の説明と例文がありました。
・Wikitionary: (idiomatic) Extremely eager or anxious to begin; The new recruits are ready and raring to go.
・Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms: to be ready and excited to begin doing something The lawyers were raring to go Monday afternoon when the judge started the hearing.; Usage notes: sometimes spelled rarin' to go to show how it is said: Sometimes she'd wake up at five in the morning and was rarin' to go.
