水泄不通

Peter

《溫故知新》

麥可.傑克森的音樂會,觀眾擠得水泄不通。

*The audience was tightly packed at Michael Jackson’s concert.

p 23 4 q4

*like (or as thick as ) rabbits in a warren.

*(of a road ) so jammed as to be impassable.

《水至清則無魚》

水至清則無魚,特別是當你和別人相處時。

*Things do not exist in absolute purity , especially when you are dealing with people.

*one should not demand absolute purity.

*when the water is too clear there are no fish.

《水漲船高》

水漲船高,比如台灣人的財富,由於國家經濟的改善而增進了。

*Taiwan’s people has improved with the improvement of the country’s economy.

*a ship rises with the tide.

*when the river rises the boat goes up (or the boat floats high)
