1.-Why do you have a long face?

-That's because I jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. The money problem is driving me crazy.

[點津]

jump out of the frying pan into the fire相當於漢語中的“剛出油鍋又跳進火坑”，表示情況不但沒有轉好，反而更加糟糕。

例：We realize we've jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, so we don't feel relaxed at all. 我們意識到自己剛出油鍋又跳進了火坑，所以感覺一點兒都不輕鬆。

[追根溯源]

[點津]

go down the pan是英國俚語，指“被糟蹋，變得無用，成為廢物”。

3.-Have you heard of the band called "Green Monsters"?

-Yes. It became a hit three years ago, but it was only a flash in the pan.

[點津]

pan在此意為“淘金盤”，在淘金盤裡發現有閃光，就表示有金屑在裡面。由於淘金盤轉速較快，這種閃光只是一閃而過，所以a flash in the pan表示“曇花一現”，比喻美好的事物或成功的人出現的時間很短。

例：During wartime, the peaceful moments like this are nothing but a flash in the pan. 在戰爭期間，像這樣的安寧時刻只不過是曇花一現。

4.-Will you forgive the guy who destroyed your plan?
