from soup to nuts(whole nine yards)

catch a weasel asleeptake somebody at advantage

be short-tempered

Heavy and modest

Springs and autumns pass unheeded.

smart

a momentary pleasure of lovers

be endowed with civil and martial virtues

Strike the head on the ground and call on heaven

a deep,gruff voice

mismanage

be caught unawares

Rain in spring is as precious as oil.

hold the assertion with reasons

the whole day(all day long)

Generous and quiet

at one's leisure

take by force and encroach upon land

gather in little knots(gather in threes and fours)

Both parents are in good health.(The parents are both alive and well.)
