He drank something yellow Explanation: This is what it means: He drank something yellow, or he drank a yellow substance. Maybe the sayer doesn't know what this substance is, he's just describing what he sees. He also adds that this substance will destroy him in the long run. I'm not sure why you're not satisfied with this meaning? Maybe you shouldn't read too much into it, and translate it as is. |
