English
[proverb] Like being hit by a large flood.
If you are taking a bath in a big river, and suddenly a flood comes along, you will be very surprised and will not have a chance to think. Budi said that it is like being “sepanan”. That is translated in the Aberdeen dictionary as “be late; come late; be delayed”. Budi translated it as a situation in which the person does not have a chance to think. It is a sudden shock, and he does not know what to do. It is suddenly finding yourself in a situation in which you can’t do anything about what is happening, and you do not have time to think. It is too late to think or do anything. Echols and Shadily (dictionary) translate “sepanan” as “in a great hurry, not right for the time”.
