Instead of getting angry or sad, you might just accept it and say that's the way the cookie crumbles.tough:[t?f] a. 坚硬的,咬不动的;棘手的,难办的;强健的,吃苦耐劳的;粗暴的,凶恶的

参考译文：
烤饼（hotcake）也称为薄饼(pancake)。它含有面粉，鸡蛋，牛奶和发酵粉。烤饼用平锅来煎，并配以水果或者甜馅料食用。如果一种新产品受欢迎且销量良好，你就可以说它“selling like hotcakes(热销)”。但如果你的一个朋友做了坏事，你或许会立即终止与他的朋友关系，或者绝交（drop him like a hotcake）。
“Flat as a pancake（平坦如饼）”用来形容某种东西真的很平。
“A tough cookie（强硬的人）”并不是某种你想吃的东西，它的意思是指某个难以应付的人，他（她）会为了得到所想的东西而不折手段。这种人可能会是“a sharp cookie（精明的人）”，他（她）很难被愚弄。事情总不如我们所愿，这个时候，你就要接受事实，说“that’s the way the cookie crumbles（人生就是如此，现实就是这样）”，而不是生气或者哀伤。
许多馅饼也很好吃。如果某事做起来很容易，你会说它“ easy as pie （易如反掌）”。但如果你做了错事或坏事，你可能只好通过道歉来表达你的歉意。换句话说，你或许“have to eat humble pie（不得不忍气吞声）”。
如果你的主意或计划不切实际，别人可能会说它是“pie in the sky（空想，不现实的东西）”。如果某件事做起来很容易，你会说“it is like taking candy from a baby（像和娃娃抢糖吃一样轻而易举）”，然而和娃娃抢糖吃可不是什么光彩的事哦！

今天，我们要讨论的是那些使用了蔬菜名和水果名的俗语。
比如，黄瓜是一种长型的.绿色蔬菜，人们常在沙拉中吃到。当一个人从不为任何事担忧，或在紧张的形势下仍能保持冷静，你也许会说这个人“as cool as a cucumber(镇定自若)”。如果你长时间把黄瓜放在醋和辣椒的混合液中，它会变成为泡菜。但如果你正“in a pickle(处于困境之中)”，那就是说你有了麻烦，或者遇到了困难。
如果两个人长得非常相似，你会说他们就像“two peas in a pod（一个豆荚里的两颗豌豆）”。
关于豆子的俗语有好几个。如果一个人精力充沛，你可以说她“full of beans(精力旺盛)”。如果你说某样东西“does not amount to a hill of beans(一文不值)”，你的意思是说它并不重要。如果你对某件事情一无所知，我可能会说你“don’t know beans about a subject（一窍不通）”。但如果你“spill the beans(泄密)”，那你说了某些本该是秘密的事情。
在很多地方，土豆是一种很受欢迎的食物。但如果某个东西是不重要的，那它则被认为是“small potatoes(小人物，不重要的)”。你大概不想徒手捧着“hot potato(烫手山芋)”，这代表了没有人想去处理的难题。如果你成天坐着看电视，很少锻炼，也许会有人称你为“a couch potato(懒人)”。
