HDC: 比喻置身於及其艱難危險的境地。
Maybe my gloss is bit off? Ricci also has "répugner à faire qch (p.ex. un enfant: répugner à aller à l'école)" but that seems quite strange.

上刀山,下油鍋 examples from TP ~

「好人卡」則是卡片遊戲漫畫的產物。在卡片遊戲中,好人卡是擊殺「準好人」的最強武器,即使已為女孩上刀山下油鍋,只要拿到一張小小的好人卡,就會被徹底擊潰成「腦殘」狀態。放眼現實生活中,女孩會以「你真的是個好人,但我們不適合,相信你一定會找到比我更好的人……」為由,婉轉拒絕男生的告白。換言之,領到一張「好人卡」,意指示愛失敗。
"Haoren ka," literally "good person card," is a product of collectible card games and cartoons based on them. In such games, these cards are powerful weapons that target "good"-aligned characters, and no matter the trials and tribulations you might go through, one tiny little haoren ka can be enough to completely destroy you. In the real world, it has taken on another meaning-when a young man's advances are turned down by a girl with the traditional line, "You're such a good person, but I just don't think it would work out between us. You'll find someone better," that has become known as being given your haoren ka as a symbol of your romantic failure.

至此中國以鬼為尊的觀念不僅隨著神仙思想遠逝,襲自印度的閻王地獄裡,剝皮、上刀山、下油鍋等慘事成為民間深刻的共同記憶,
From this point on, veneration of ghosts among the Chinese not only declined in favor of the notion of immortals, but the torments of the hell of King Yama, adopted from India, in which people were flayed alive, thrown onto mountains of swords or cast into boiling oil, became deeply imprinted on the Chinese psyche.
