In the same boat 在同一种处境下，在同一条船上
Out of the blue 突然之间
Backseat driver 瞎提建议的人
Bark at the moon （狂犬）吠月；空嚷，徒劳，枉费心机
A big fish in a little pond 矮子里头的长人
to jump the gun 过早地开始一个行动，或者是过于匆忙地做某件事
an arm and a leg 昂贵的价格；过高的要价
Over my dead body 除非我死了（表示强烈反对）
Burning the candle at both ends 过分耗费精力
add fuel to the fire 火上加油，使情绪更激烈
a shot in the dark 瞎猜，盲目行动；碰运气的选择；瞎碰
under the gun在严密监视之下，在武装监视之下
Life in the University-大学生活
Life in the university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected.
First of all, we are tightly hound by continual classes, excessive homework and exams; some students complain that we are becoming “exam machines”. Secondly, the teaching method is boring; instead of lecturing, some teachers just “read” lessons. Finally, living conditions need to be improved; and food in the dining-hall is far from being attractive and tasteful.
In spite of all these adversities we still enjoy our life in the university. During the four-year university study, we can not only acquire a lot of book learning, but also foster various abilities. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make friends; many of these friendships may last a long time.
In short,we should value our life in the university. Four years is only a short period when compared with our whole lifetime. In the university we mature, and in the university we prepare ourselves for the real world. Although there are many things lacking, the four years in the university is a worthwhile period in our whole lifetime.
Time spent at a university is a most worthwhile period in a young person’s life. This is a time when a student begins to form his or her ideas about life in general. Attending classes and studying in the library keep a student busy and provide him or her with access to valuable information, adding to his or her knowledge base.
Campus life can also be rich and colorful. Most universities offer a variety of extracurricular activities such as sports events, contests, and other social gatherings, enabling the students to experience relief fi’om study and homework. Students often form lifelong friendships through the varied experiences of university life.
During the time a student spends at university, he not only develops his intellectual ahilites,he also develops social skills as well as knowledge and wisdom necessary for choosing a future career. By learning how to balance intense study and recreation, a student will be well prepared for the challenges of future responsibilities.
