to spin a cocoon around oneself 作茧自缚
to pierce to the truth with a single pertinent remark 一针见血
first awakening of love 情窦初开
pledge in all sincerity 信誓旦旦
be the first to be affected 首当其冲
(strange as it may seem) things never come singly but in pairs 无独有偶
income falling short 入不敷出
demand exceeds supply 供不应求
have ample food and clothing 丰衣足食
make do with what is available 因陋就简
endure great hardships in pioneer work 筚路褴缕
