134 (A) eat like a horse (B) fidelity

Ross eat like a horse 非常能吃 That football player eats like a horse. 那個足球選手非常能吃 fidelity 忠誠度 There was a tempting offer from another company to Jake and that really tested his fidelity to his company. 另一間公司提供誘人的工作機會，這正測試著Jake對原本公司的忠誠度

Ben eat like a horse 非常能吃 That football player eats like a horse. 那個足球選手非常能吃 fidelity 忠誠度 There was a tempting offer from another company to Jake and that really tested his fidelity to his company. 另一間公司提供誘人的工作機會，這正測試著Jake對原本公司的忠誠度eat like a horse 非常能吃 No wonder he's so fat. He eats like a horse. 難怪他這麼胖。他非常能吃。 fidelity 忠誠度 His fidelity to the company is over 25 years. 他對這間公司的忠誠度超過25年。 Suggestion: Your use of "is" in the second sentence is equating fidelity to a time period (twenty-five years). More likely you mean to describe the length of his fidelity. Here are possible alterations. His fidelity to the company is over twenty-five years OLD. (It turns 25 years into an adjective)His fidelity to the company has existed FOR over twenty-five years. He has had fidelity in the company over twenty-five years. (these last two change the object of the verb)

133 (A) look a gift horse in the mouth (B) work like a horse

Ross look a gift horse in the mouth 對禮物吹毛求疵 It would be silly to look a gift horse in the mouth. 對禮物吹毛求疵是愚蠢的。 work like a horse 拼命工作/苦幹 He works like a horse to earn his living. 他拼命工作賺取生活所需

Ben look a gift horse in the mouth 對禮物吹毛求疵 Never look a gift horse in the mouth. 絕對不要對禮物吹毛求疪。 work like a horse 拼命工作/苦幹 If you work like a horse, you work very hard. 如果你像馬一樣工作，你工作非常努力。 Suggestion: Both of your sentences are well put together. I more often hear work like a dog. The difference between the two can be whatever you mean for it to be. I would think working like a dog implies a close proximity to a labor-master, while working like a horse can be hard work but more bourgeois (without a boss). But the difference is really what you mean for it to be.

132 (A) a willing horse (B) flog a dead horse

Ross a willing horse 心甘情願的幫手 I've still got some work to do, but there are plenty of willing horses who'll do it for me. 我還有一些事要做,且有不少人願意幫我做。 flog a dead horse 白費力 You're flogging a dead horse by asking him to lend you money. 你向他借錢是白費力氣。 It's useless to flog a dead horse 死馬加鞭亦是枉然 (重提舊話只是白費唇舌)

Ben a willing horse 心甘情願的幫手 He is a willing horse. He always prepares to work hard. 他是個心甘情願的好幫手。 flog a dead horse 白費力 All he does is useless. He is flogging a dead horse. 他所作的一切都是沒用，白費力氣的。 Suggestion: You would say "All that he does is useless." Without the "that" the sentence is making "all he does" to BE "useless." With the "that" the sentence describes "all he does" AS "useless." Both can be correct depending on your meaning, but it makes more sense with "that." Most people nowadays say "beating" a dead horse, mostly because "flogging" has an enslavement connotation that Americans do not like.
