1 down the drain 2 be meant to 3 give it a go 4 knockout genius 5 return the favor 6 give birth to . . ,make. . . birth

1 go down the drain

Drain often refers to sewers. When I heard the saying (go) down the drain, did this picture come to mind: a person was playing with an heirloom diamond ring, and the other accidentally slipped his hand, and the diamond ring fell directly into the bottom. The water outlet and the dirty water in the sewers rushed to nowhere. . . Yes, the idiom speaks of such an accident. The reason for this is that go down the drain became popular in the United States around the 1920s, when most houses in the United States were equipped with drainage pipes. According to this artistic conception, down the drain means that efforts and efforts are in vain. (As the old saying goes, art comes from life and is higher than life)

2 be meant to

A frustrated Carter tells Steve that you're the one destined to end the war.

Be meant to means "destined...", full of Carter's helplessness about his own destiny, and regret for Steve that he didn't become a super soldier, because people at the time didn't think women were capable of doing anything.

"Modern Family" When love is meant to happen, it is meant to happen.

3 give it a go

After Carter turned into a super soldier, he tried his best to block a vehicle, but the result was that the car was easily overturned, and he was shocked to himself. So I wanted to try again. Give it a go in Let's give it another go, which means "try it out". The go here does not mean "go", but means "try". It was too late to say that, Carter caught up with an enemy on a motorcycle in minutes, "Do you mind if I try your motorcycle?", and flew with a punch.

4 knockout genius

Knock out (two words written separately) means "to cause unconsciousness; to defeat". And here is knockout together, meaning slightly different, meaning "a blow to defeat an opponent; a person (or thing) that attracts (or impresses) people". The colonel, who looked down on Carter at the beginning, saw her outstanding military exploits, and in his report to Mr. President, he couldn't help but praise Carter as a real genius, which was too eye-catching. (I really want to hehe, with a white eye...)

5 return the favor

Favor means "favor," do someone a favor; in turn, return the favor. Here, Hydra has hurt our world in many ways, and Carter's claim to return the favor is an irony, but it actually means revenge, not gratitude. As a warm reminder, "reporting gratitude and gratitude" is one of the necessary skills for professionals.

6 give birth to . . ,make. . . birth

Birth is "birth", give birth to can either mean "give birth to a child", or abstractly mean "give birth to something", revealing a kind of history A sense of heaviness, the same meaning as a milestone.

"Bohemian Rhapsody"

It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question... "What if?"
