濫竽充數
- Peter
《溫故知新》
那名熱切的人,想要的是一份具有挑戰性的工作,而不是一份濫竽充數的工作。
*The eager man wanted a challenging job, not just a job to fill up a vacancy.
*just to fill up a vacancy.
*act as a stop-gap.
火中取栗
他愛她那麼深,甚至會為她火中取栗。
*He was so in love that he would pull chestnuts out of the fire for her.
*be a cat’s-paws (of sb.)
*pull chestnuts out of the fire.
火燒眉毛
我們的海水污染,已火燒眉毛了。
*The pollution of our seas is a matter of the utmost urgency.
*an imminent the crisis.
*fire singeing the eyebrows.
