eat like a horse 描述人食量驚人，相當於中文說的「食大如牛」。
eat like a bird 形容一個人「食量很小」。
hold one's horses 字面上是指「拉住某人的馬」可引申為「別急，慢慢來」。例：Hold your horses! Or you are going to choke.（別急，慢慢來！要不然你會噎到。）
put the car before the horse 字面意思是「把車放在馬前面」，也就是「本末倒置」。例：You are putting the cart before the horse!（你這樣做根本就是本末倒置！）
be on a diet 節食中，減肥中
例：He keeps saying he is on a diet, but he never really was.（他總是說他在減肥，可是從來沒有真正去做。）
