Idiom Inggris from the world of transport

There are many idioms from the world of transport. We have chosen some common ones for you to use.
train of thought
A train of thought is a series of connected ideas, just like a line of railway carriages. Sometimes when we’re talking about something really interesting we have a lot we want to say. Then a friend comes to ask if she can borrow a pen. We try to start the conversation again but we can’t remember what we were going to say.
"Dewi interrupted my train of thought. Now I can’t remember what I was going to say!"

put the cart before the horse
To put the cart before the horse means to do things in the wrong order. For example, buying new clothes to wear to a wedding before you get an invitation, or worrying about where you will live in Jakarta before you have the interview for a new job.
"My brother is worried about the food he’ll eat when he goes to Australia, but he hasn’t even applied for his scholarship yet. He’s always putting the cart before the horse!"

ships that pass in the night
Have you ever met someone really interesting who made a big impression on you? We often meet these people only once or twice and don’t ever see them again. We say we are like ships that pass in the night. One day a friend showed me a photograph of a man she met ten years ago.
"I met him at the airport and we talked for two hours until his plane left. I never saw him again but I’ll always remember him. We were like two ships that pass in the night."

in the same boat
To be in the same boat as someone else means that you’re both in the same difficult or unpleasant situation. University students often have a lot of assignments due at the end of the semester and it’s very hard to get them all finished on time. One day I heard two students talking about this.
"I agree, it’s hard to get them all done, but at least we’re all in the same boat."
