1.be mad as a box of frogs
2.get your tanks off my lawn
3.with friends like these,who needs enemies

请看关于几句谚语的详细解释
1.be mad as a box of frogs

Very mad, but typically refers to someone in the public eye. Of course, as the very idea of putting frogs in a box is eccentric to say the least, one who is very mad can be said to be; As mad as a box of frogs.
并不是说:像热锅上的蚂蚁(ants on a hot stove)
例:President Bush is as mad as a box of frogs.
打个比方,做直销的都很疯狂,就可以用这个短语!
此外老美也常用这样的表达:as mad as a meat-axe

2.get your tanks off my lawn
相近的表达有don't poke your nose into mine.
不要干涉某人等意思

It is an expression well known in the UK - it was said by Prime Minister Harold wilson to trade union leader Hugh Scanlon.
例:
Now that I have returned your unpleasant tone in kind, perhaps we can continue our discussion in a more comradely fashion? Of course if you do not wish to consider views radically at odds with your own, that is your privilege - but then get your tanks off my lawn!

3.with friends like these,who needs enemies
本意是 有朋若此,何需敌人
可以有两种理解,其一,这样的朋友和敌人有什么两样呢?
其二,新新人类这样理解,敌人能给自己奋斗的动力,有了这样能给自己提高竞争力的朋友,还需要什么敌人呢?
此句惯用语,还有以下变换形式,请看
