Re: "friends with benefits" 這個詞的意思

Jokingly or not, in this highly delicate situation, one may tempted to negotiate a more "favorable" terms of sep...

Re: It's too easy to make a mistake. 對嗎?

For example: "It's too easy to make a mistake" = error-prone or tricky "It's too difficult to make a mistake" = unmistakable, foolproof or "shooting fish in a barrel" (甕中捉鱉) http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/shoo...
