dispara la cabeza

Question

Holla! Soy portuguesa pero tengo un trabajo de español para traducir. En esta frase: (“Y no pasaba nada, nunca pasa nada, excepto que a ella se le dispara la cabeza, y empieza a pensar cosas que no debería pensar…” como digo en portugués la expresión “le dispara la cabeza”? se dice igual?

Gracias

Answer 1

Could this possibly shed any light on your question ?

" she loses her head at him "          in english

" a ella se le dispara la cabeza "     en español 

" ela perde a cabeça para ele "       en portugués

That is just what it cames to my mind! thank you very much, now I'm sure - silvana26, May 28, 2014

Answer 2

Se le dispara la cabeza = He(or she) blew his top(got very mad) at her.

Your passage translates in English roughly to:

"And nothing happened, nothing ever happens, execpt for when he(she) got mad at her, and begins to think things that one should not think"

I do not think that this is the same in Portuguese, however I do not speak Portuguese so I'm not sure.

No sé si hablas inglés, pues te diré en español.

"Se le dispara la cabeza" significa: "se pone muy enojado con ella" en este frase.

no creo que las significas son iguales entre español y portugués, pero no hablo portugués y no puedo estar seguro

I think you're right, only it's her own head.. - annierats, May 28, 2014

Dont think so, if it was that it would have to be "Se dispara la cabeza". I think that there has to be another person, as "le" means to or for some one(else) - Colin4312, May 28, 2014

IS "se le dispara" the same no fault construction as "se me cayó"? - gringojrf, May 28, 2014

no they mean different things - Colin4312, May 29, 2014

You're right, I didn't pay attention. - annierats, May 29, 2014

Answer 3

I think it is comparing the head to a gun, where bullets are the ideas that come out of her head. Sorry I do not know any Portuguese.

Answer 4

Maybe, something like: went off on a tangent?
