pull one's forces together and start afresh

the language fails to express the idea

wise and know one's job well(know how many beans make five)

No other course is open to one.(out of sheer necessity)

God bless you!(God save the mark!)

deceiving(fraudulent)

readily accept somebody's correct opinion or advice

village peasant

complete devastation of land

root out the daring and protect the weak

be difficult to move a single inch

be benumbed as a wooden chicken(as serene as a graven image;stand as a log)

rub one's hands and stamp one's foot (get anxious and impatient)

be out at the elbows(in rags)

in abject poverty( very utterly destitute)

have a rough tongue

Having got hold of a knife,one must cut--not to lose an opportunity when there is one

in imminent danger

from top to bottom(from start to finish)

share one's valuable experience
