Listen to only one side

dismember an ox as skillfully as a cook

make a difficult journey(travel across mountains and rivers)

in quiet

moderate(tick over)

full of vitality(be luxuriant and flourishing)

ordinary(no great shakes)

unnoteworthy(plain)

(to start)​ dancing lightly and gracefully

wash grains of gold out of the sand

the firmness of a rock

in peace

be full of worries(have all sorts of misgivings)

look sideways to everything(nod and shake the spheres)

common people(the rank and file)

completely different

overturn a mountain and upset the sea

the difference is as between the black and the white

break down superstitions

smoke heavily(smoking chimney)
