The first one is
The literal meaning of 有肩膀 is to have shoulders
有 is “to have” and 肩膀 is “shoulder”
This expression means “to be responsible and reliable”
如果一個人有肩膀 如果一个人有肩膀
代表他可以扛下很多事情 代表他可以扛下很多事情
是一個可以依靠、有責任感的人 是一个可以依靠、有责任感的人
For instance, you can say
The second one is
Its literal meaning is “to talk nonsense with one’s eyes open”
It means “to tell a bald-faced lie",
which means deliberately saying something that is obviously false
「睜眼說瞎話」的那個人其實知道事實 “ 睁眼说瞎话 ” 的那个人其实知道事实
但因為某些原因 但因为某些原因

Here is an example,
The next one is
What it means literally is very funny,
which is “to stick one’s hot face on another’s cold bottom”
Yeah, I know it sounds a bit weird
I think this is a very vivid expression
It means “to get the cold shoulder”
也就是你態度很好、很熱情地對待某個人 也就是你态度很好、很热情地对待某个人
但是那個人卻冷冷地對待你 但是那个人却冷冷地对待你
或者甚至不理你 或者甚至不理你
這就像是你拿你的熱臉去貼別人的冷屁股 这就像是你拿你的热脸去贴别人的冷屁股
An example could be like,
Another slang expression is
It’s very straightforward,
its literal meaning is “to be able to count with fingers”
It’s talking about something that can be counted with just fingers,
so it means the amount of something is small
當你想要強調東西的數量很少 当你想要强调东西的数量很少
或著某個人做某件事情的次數很少 或着某个人做某件事情的次数很少
你就可以用這個片語 你就可以用这个片语
For example,
Here is the final one for today
Literally, it means “(to do something) with your scalp hardening.”
Its meaning is “to bite the bullet”
which is to force yourself to do something that is unavoidable
如果我們「硬著頭皮」去做某件事 如果我们 “ 硬着头皮 ” 去做某件事
意思是我們有點勉強地去做 意思是我们有点勉强地去做
一件困難的或者我們不喜歡的事情 一件困难的或者我们不喜欢的事情
For example, you can say
