"一夕數驚" in this case is used to describe the terror the family felt in one night by the interrogative methods their enemies were using to terrorize them. 10 Million hits on Google Editor: In actual usage it doesn't seem to be about "one night", even though that's the literal meaning. |

"Yes," replied Buddha. 在弟弟的感情修成正果、走入婚姻的同時，32歲的洪子乾卻與相交5年的越南女友黯然分手。 The 32-year-old Hung Tzu-chien was not so fortunate. While his younger brother's relationship grew into a marriage, his own ended after five years. The United States and China have signed a deal to resolve a trade dispute over imports of Chinese clothing and textile products into the United States after the eighth round of discussions. 八轮谈判终于修成"正果"，中美双方终于在11月8日宣布就中国服装和纺织品对美出口所产生的贸易争端问题达成协议。 It took3? years of negotiations, interrupted by prolonged bouts of North Korean bolshiness, to produce the accord. 这次谈判持续三年半——其进程曾因朝鲜几次不愉快的、沓的“私密性”活动而搁浅——才修成正果。 大四男生向女老师求婚恋爱三年修成正果 在国家主席习近平和俄罗斯总统普京的见证下，中俄天然气谈判历经10年的艰难拉锯终于修成正果。 |

Within half a day withdrawal symptoms set in, with a craving for more. Development of tolerance, requiring ever greater amounts for the same effects, leads to drug addiction." 海洛因经静脉注射后会有飘飘欲仙的反应，然后有一股暖流流过全身，接着导致一种朦胧恍惚的松弛感和满足感。成瘾后若不每天注射两次即会产生不舒服的戒断症候，也会渴望愈多。海洛因的耐受性亦极高，故施打者必须不断提高剂量才能达到相同的欣快感，导致药物成瘾。 Every project we carry out – every playground we refurbish, every well we help dig, every adult we teach to read, every child we immunize against polio — makes the world we all live in a bit better, a bit healthier, a bit happier. 我们推动的每一项计画，我们维修的每一个儿童游乐场、我们挖的每一口井、每一个我们教导识字的成人、每一个我们协助施打小儿痲痹疫苗的孩子，都让我们所居住的这个世界变得更好、更健康、更快乐。 TP~ 不施打荷爾蒙的農產品生長期長 products that are produced naturally and without added hormones |
