英语经典俚语
between a rock and a hard place
进退维谷
She is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the choice between friendship and love.
每当面临友情和爱情的选择时，她总是进退维谷。
历史典故
这条俚语最早源于古希腊神话中关于奥德赛（Odyssey）的一则故事。故事说奥德赛必须经过一条航道，但两边分别是悬崖峭壁和海怪，这时候是否向前，往左还是往右，都成了问题。现在被人们广泛应用，形容处在困境中，进退两难，难以决定。

爱因斯坦在物理学界乃至世界历史上都是一个大人物，他创造了一种新的物理理论：相对论。
历史典故

big wig
重要人物

历史典故
“wig”是假发的意思。相信看过“律政港剧”的观众都知道，从17世纪开始，英国的权贵都开始有了戴假发的习惯，而且假发越大，地位越高，所以后来“big wig”就用来形容位高权重的人。
Birds of a feather flock together. 物以类聚。
In general， people always abide by the principle of “birds of a feather flock together” in real life.
总的来说，在现实生活中，人们往往恪守“物以类聚”这一原则。
历史典故
起源于16世纪中期。“feather”的意思是“羽毛”，“flock”指“聚集”。该俚语字面上的意思是“有相同羽毛的鸟类聚在一起”。和中文的“物以类聚，人以群分；一丘之貉”等有异曲同工之处。
