beautiful and charming

cause alienation by spreading rumours

very beautiful(her beauty would shut out the moon and put the flowers to shame)

to be wax in somebody's hands

be more dead than alive

the only way

collect widely all advices

one's aspiration is out of the common(fly high)

be pessimistic and world-weary

unable to benefit from a visit to a great master

be difficult to ascertain

to toss one's head and tail--to look well-content and pleased

hang by a single thread

to agree with somebody about everything

innumerable flowers of purple and red

to do one's utmost

be hard on somebody(will never pardon)

wrong in every respect

come back disappointed(go home in low spirits)

to have accomplished nothing (idiom)
