моя любимая загвоздка из Metaphors we live by
If we agree that we think of future as something in front of us and past as something we've left behind - quite a typical picture
___past__________we/present________future_______>
why do we say "the following week"?
something which follows X moves behing this X, doesn't it?
so is our future behind us??
and what about "looking ahead to the following week"?
догадались как надо перерисовать ось? :)
