"WEAK AT THE KNEES"
If you go weak at the knees, you feel an emotion so strongly that it makes you feel unstable on your feet.
Example: When he looked at me and smiled, I felt weak at the knees. He was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen!
Me temblaron las piernas.
Example sentences:
- Just thinking about getting up in front of a thousand people makes me weak at the knees. It's terrifying! / Sólo de pensar en estar frente a millones de personas hace que me tiemblen las piernas. Es aterrador!
- Carlos gasped and went weak at the knees when he realised he had lost his passport, money and credit cards / Carlos se quedó sin aliento y le temblaron las piernas cuando se dió cuenta de que había perdido su pasaporte, el dinero y la tarjeta de crédito.
Additional examples:
