stop thirst by drinking poison senseless measure

critically ill with a little breath

so very poor as though everything has been washed away by a flood

in one morning or evening

be dazzled

good and bad mixed together

just a few known details of a larger whole

as easy as turning over the plam

return to the subject

be reached at a single leap

grow with each passing day

empty words on a sheet of paper

all utterly quiet

return evil for good

try hard to catch up

punish sb. as a warning to others

follow the old routine

Everything needed is supplied.

be traced to the same origin

leave a stink for ten thousand years
