<< review queue entry 66710 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) "a fire in one's backyard" -- if we were to have that, it should be labeled as a literal meaning (one that isn't used in practice) 2) 后院起火 is a *statement*, not a noun ("conflict close to home") Z ~ 比喻內部鬧矛盾,發生糾紛 web a) 美国后院起火！从天堂堕落到地狱的委内瑞拉，正式与美国断交 b) 印度陆军发布的最新通报显示，印度东北地区出现了大量武装分子。近期，大批游击队和叛军在印度东北地区活动，趁着印度军方将注意力放在跟邻国对峙中，开始疯狂袭击印度警察局，甚至连印度军方的营地都没有放过。在北方军事对峙吃紧的情况下，印度军方又遭遇了“后院起火”，多线作战的印军已经疲于奔命。 |
