         DefinitionShort: an object from which one may drink

         Glosses: cup

         Comments: In place of the expression ‘cup of water’ (in which cup not only identifies the container but indicates the quantity of water), some languages would use the expression ‘water in a cup,’ but it is even more likely that the typical equivalent of ‘cup of water’ would be ‘a drink of water.’ In some parts of the world a term such as ‘cup’ would suggest something rather strange and foreign; therefore, one might find that an expression ‘a gourd of water’ would not only be more natural, but would be the semantic equivalent of ‘drink of water.’

         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to drink a cup) to undergo a trying, difficult experience

         Glosses: ['to undergo a difficult experience', 'to drink the cup', 'to suffer']

         Comments: In a number of languages it is not possible to use the phrase ‘to drink the cup,’ since this will almost inevitably refer to the drinking of a poison cup as a means of proving innocence in an ordeal. Even if one uses a literal rendering of the idiom ‘to drink the cup,’ it is usually necessary to have some explanation as to the significance of the idiom.
