泥牛入海

Peter

《溫故知新》

他看著她登上飛機,就知道她泥生入海了。

*He watched her board the airplane and knew she was gone forever.

p 23 4 8

*like a clay ox entering the sea .

*never to be heard of again.

《泥沙俱下》

人生的際遇泥沙俱下。

*There is a mingling of good and bad opportunities in life.

*there is a mingling of good and bad.

*mud and sand are carried away.

泥塑木雕

不論你怎麼駡他,他永遠都像泥塑木雕一樣。

*No matter how you scold him, he will always be as wooden as a dummy.

*as modelled in clay or carved from wood.

*like an idol moulded in clay or carved in wood. (Peter)
