那話不多說，我們現在就開始吧！ 那话不多说，我们现在就开始吧！ Without further ado, now let’s get started!
The first one is
睜一隻眼閉一隻眼
The literal meaning of 睜一隻眼閉一隻眼 is
“to open one eye, and close the other eye”
So it means “to turn a blind eye”
所以「睜一隻眼閉一隻眼」的意思就是 所以 “ 睁一只眼闭一只眼 ” 的意思就是
其實你已經看到或知道對方在做什麼不好的事情 其实你已经看到或知道对方在做什么不好的事情
但你卻假裝不知道，願意容忍對方的行為。 但你却假装不知道，愿意容忍对方的行为。
Let’s see an example,
The second one is
大嘴巴
It has an English equivalent, which is “big mouth”
It’s used to refer to people who can’t keep a secret.
所以「大嘴巴」的人很容易把別人的秘密說出去， 所以 “ 大嘴巴 ” 的人很容易把别人的秘密说出去，
我們通常都不跟大嘴巴的人講秘密。 我们通常都不跟大嘴巴的人讲秘密。
An example could be
The next one is
幫＋someone＋擦屁股
Its literal meaning is "to help someone wipe their bottom”
I know, it sounds really gross.
Its meaning is “to clean up someone’s mess”
「幫＋someone＋擦屁股」就是有個人事情沒做好， “ 帮＋someone＋擦屁股 ” 就是有个人事情没做好，
或者不小心闖禍、做錯事情了， 或者不小心闯祸、做错事情了，
我們需要幫他解決， 我们需要帮他解决，
這就是我們在幫他擦屁股 这就是我们在帮他擦屁股
Let’s see an example sentence:
“三分鐘熱度” is also a common slang expression

The next one is

or 用膝蓋想也知道
Literally, it means
“to know something by just thinking with one’s knee”
So it means “no-brainer”
所以「用膝蓋想都 / 也知道」的意思是答案很明顯， 所以 “ 用膝盖想都 / 也知道 ” 的意思是答案很明显，
我們根本不需要思考就知道。 我们根本不需要思考就知道。
For instance,
The final one for today is
一個頭兩個大
Its literal meaning is “one head as big as two heads”
and it means “to be stressed out about something
that is difficult to solve or handle”
「一個頭兩個大」的意思是 “ 一个头两个大 ” 的意思是
因為某些很難解決或很難應付的事情， 因为某些很难解决或很难应付的事情，
讓你感到壓力很大、很頭痛 让你感到压力很大、很头痛
