быть брошенным на произвол судьбы

Pleased with oneself

Cover up the eyes and ears of others

Stir up trouble

sweep forward without hindrance

Speak in an evasive manner

frown on

Contentment is not dangerous.

Paper falling clouds and smoke

Friendship between pearl and jade

make a self-assessment and hold a public discussion

an article with complimentary remarks and criticism

Strike out a new line for oneself

Catch the collar and expose the elbow

любимая дочь

souls in paradise

Smack one's lips

Hold sb.'s whip and follow his stirrup

проявлять осторожность

Paper city
