✔ 最佳答案
樓上朋友講的是對的, 英文成語"sour grapes", 就代表了"吃不到的葡萄是酸的"心態. 但grapes 一定是用複數的. If I criticise her, they will say it is just sour grapes.
雖然grapes 是複數, 但由於"sour grapes" 本身是一個idiom, 指一種心態, 在英文用法裡是用單數動詞 "it is sour grapes", 不用 "they are sour grapes".

It's just sour grape.
e.g. If I criticise her, people will think it's just sour grape.
