604. I am knee deep in debt. 我欠了一身的债。knee deep in 深深陷入,投入:I'm knee-deep in work at the moment, so I'm not stopping for lunch. 我现在忙得不可开交,没时间去吃饭。还有一个类似的说法hip deep: He is hip-deep in writing his book. 他一头扎进了写书。


605. 这两个“水域”在此意思很相近,都不是很好的境况:I am in financial hot water. 我现在的财务相当吃紧。I feel like I am in uncharted waters. 我感到一头雾水,不知道前面的方向。Recently he finds himself in neck-deep water. 最近他发现处境不妙。

609. I am not your guinea pig, give me the right medicine. 我又不是你的几内亚猪,给我点对路的药。制造商常常拿guinea用来试验新药。但是guinea pig并不是真正的猪,而是天竺鼠(a rodent),产于南美。南美人喂养天竺鼠就像我们喂养猪,用来做食品的。


610. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 11:1 信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。
