泛泛之交
- Peter
《溫故知新》
我不能請求他幫忙,因為我和他只是泛泛之交。
*I could not ask a favor from him for he is but a casual acquaintance.
*a nodding acquaintance.
*casual acquaintance.
《泛濫成災》
那個國家洪水泛濫成災。
*The country was swamped by the floods.
*run rampant (or wild)
*be flooded with evil (or bad).
《波瀾壯濶》
他的文章波瀾壯濶。
*His articles unfolded on a magnificent scale.
*surge high and sweep forward.
*surge forward with great momentum.
《泣不成聲》
聽到他慘死過河,自身難保
當那艘船開始不沉時,她是泥菩薩過河,自身難保。
*When the ship began to sink , she was hardly able to save herself let alone anyone else.
*an idol of clay which can hardly survive when crossing a river.
*like a clay idol fording a river. (Peter)
