大跌眼镜(da4die1yan3jing1)

glasses dropper

This Chinese term vividly describes a situation where you’re so stunned by something that the glasses fall from the bridge of your nose. Of course, your glasses-dropping could also be caused by the fact that your idea or prediction about something is proved to be wrong as wrong could ever be.

one's jaw dropped = 大跌眼镜 ?

我觉得是两码事。

前者表示“大吃一惊”，后者表示什么？一般指“对方的表现不怎么的”：比如，中国足球队的表现，10次就决不会是少于10次 让人大跌眼镜的

大跌眼镜有没有表示“惊讶”的意思呢？还要看看其他人的高论。

近年来，“大跌眼镜”非常流行。它的意思倒是很明确，都是用在非常惊奇的场合。可是为什么一惊奇，眼镜就会掉下来呢？

原来，最早的眼镜就是一个凹透镜，用时举到眼前，不太方便。由于这个时候人们还没有意识到上帝创造耳朵就是为了挂眼镜，仅仅想了一些权宜的方法，例如用一支小柄，眼镜举在眼前就比较方便了。但是老练的近视眼们很快就学会皱皱眉头、用眼皮夹着眼镜，这样，就可以腾出手来干别的事情，比如翻书什么的。舞会上，如果用眼皮夹着眼镜，观看漂亮MM的时候，突然发现一桩令人惊奇的事情，眼睛一瞪，眼镜就掉下来了！久而久之，“大跌眼镜”就成为看到惊奇的事情的代名词了！自从人们意识到耳朵与眼镜的关系，眼镜是跌不下来了，但是这个说法还是流传下来！

C-E不是这样翻译的吧，中文理，表达同种意思经常会有很多种表达方式，而且含义，程度都差不多，也许不同地区，或者不同时期流行某个说法，但对应的英文可能就那么1，2种，所以，你不可能把每种表达方式都找个译法吧。
大跌眼镜 我觉得更多用于表达对发挥特别失常的吃惊。

人家表现特棒，让人大开眼界时的“吃惊”，也可用one's jaw dropped 。我好像看过一个摩托特技的视频，那里就用了one's jaw dropped
但此时肯定不能用“大跌眼镜”；

[外国人听得懂 glasses dropper吗？] 可能觉得只是 掉下了眼镜的人而已
