8 easy ways to convince the boss you are expert in English
成语是中华语文的骨髓。 用得恰当，文章会有“出口成章”，“句句”珠玉，“妙笔开花”之感。用错了则令人“贻笑大方”，认人觉得作者在“班门弄斧”。（朋友们应该都知道我属于写中文颇有“拔牙”之痛的这一类，哈哈.）
英文也不例外。 在日常生活中，职场上，交际，会话，讲台上一两句恰当的成语，会让人对你“刮目相看”, 而“摇身一变”,成为”顶呱呱”的英语高手.
以下是八句很常用的英语成语. 大家不妨试一试, 保证绝对“有效应”！（各位也可以在儿女们面前试试。They will be impressed. Guaranteed! ）

Why did he ask that dumb question? Any Tom, Dick or Harry could answer it.
