　　门可罗雀

　　“门可罗雀”，字面意思是“大门之前可以张起网来捕麻雀（birds can be caught by a net at the door）”，“罗”做动词表示“张网捕捉（catch birds with a net）”，“门可罗雀”用来形容十分冷落，宾客稀少（visitors are few and far between，having few visitors）。

　　例句：

　　展厅门可罗雀，开发商已经开始降低价格。

　　Showrooms are empty and developers have already started cutting prices.

　　地震过后这个景点门可罗雀。

　　Visitors are few and far between in this scenic spot after the earthquake.

　　昙花一现

　　“昙花一现”，汉语成语，比喻美好的事物或景象出现了一下，很快就消失（vanish as soon as it appears），与英文习语“a flash in the pan”意思相近，表示“someone or something whose success or popularity is short-lived”。

　　例句：

　　很可惜，他们的成功只是昙花一现。

　　Sadly, their success was just a flash in the pan.

　　这家新成立的创业公司引起了很大轰动，但它最终只是昙花一现，仅仅两年后就倒闭了。

　　未雨绸缪

　　“未雨绸缪”，汉语成语，意思是趁着天没下雨，先修缮房屋门窗（repair the house before it rains）。比喻事先做好准备工作，预防意外的事发生（take precautions beforehand，provide against the future，save (something) for a rainy day）。

　　例句：

　　我打算未雨绸缪，作好应对准备。

　　I'm trying to look ahead at what might happen and be ready to handle it.

　　目前还未出现这种情形，但我们需要未雨绸缪。

　　守口如瓶

　　“守口如瓶”，汉语成语，字面意思是“闭口不谈，像瓶口塞紧了一般（keep one's mouth shut as that of a jar）”。比喻说话谨慎，严守秘密，可以翻译为“ be tight-mouthed，button up one's mouth，或zip one's lip”。
