1. 爱情：

seeing is believing眼见为实

gild the lily 画蛇添足

Achilles’ heels 致命要害

white night 不眠之夜

Love me love my dog 爱屋及乌

life is but a dream 人生如梦

to run counter 背道而驰

 castle in the air 空中楼阁

 

即兴应用短文：

 

 I’ve long heard about your beauty but seeing is believing. I saw you that day, standing among the waving grass, wind blowing through your hair. The sight of you was filled with so much beauty that I froze, right there, staring at you, the shape of your figure, the outline of your face and the ringing of your laughter. You had a flower in your hair, but I thought you were perfect already and the flower was just gilding the lily. I was too shy to step forward and introduce myself, that’s been my Achilles’ heels all my life. So much feeling but can’t put them into words, into sounds. Seeing you was followed by many white nights, when I would lie awake, thinking about you and kissed you in my dreams. I was ready to love you and all that was in your life, love you and love your dog. But by daybreak, when light once again comes to my world, I know, life is all but a dream. The reality would run counter to what I desire, all but castles in the air.

a fly in the ointment 白璧之瑕，美中不足

to cast pearls before swine 对牛弹琴

great minds think alike 英雄所见略同

all is vanity 四大皆空
