岛国

Britain is an island nation, the maritime industry and fisheries in the economic life in the UK plays an important role, thus, producing a large number of navigation and fishing-related with the idiom; for example, spend money like water analogy to spend money to waste, extravagance, hang in the wind in the wind in the wavering and hesitant to do things analogy, burn one's boats metaphor,"most drastic retreat from the off"; all at sea that "loss" means; like a fish out of water metaphors,"in a strange uncomfortable environment,"and so on.

高手帮忙翻译下，本人感激不尽！！！！英国是个岛国，航海业和渔业在英国经济生活中占有重要的地位，由此，产生了大量的与航海和捕鱼有关的习语；例如， spend money like water比喻花钱浪费，大手大脚，hang in the wind在风中摇摆不定，比喻做事犹豫不决， burn one's boats比喻"破釜沉舟，自断退路"；all at sea表示"不知所措"的意思；like a fish out of water比喻"处在陌生的环境中不自在"等等。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.
