trance(dimly; faintly)

happily

not able to turn the tide

Cheers rend the air like thunder.

Be confused

make slanderous accusations(smite with the tongue)

house of disrepute(the redlight district)

lit. raging sea of bureaucracy; officials causing a big fuss

clearly melted as the ice

fall into a deep sleep

Mighty generals

flower-like features and moon-like face

Bribery is openly practised.

true to like(very vivid; decribe vividly)

The sea cannot be measured with a bushel.

fishing for the moon in the sea (strive for the impossible)

be astute in devising great plans(a great talent and a big plan)

have a sting in the tail

Call to heaven and earth

all to a man(cent per cent)
