[Condauaotim]

Do you like idioms? As for me, I think as well as proverbs, idioms are also very interesting. Do you think so?
Can you make out these idioms?
-bread and butter
-law and order
-life and soul
-ups and downs
...

just know some of them
_ bread n butter = kế sinh nhai
_ law n order = an ninh trật tự
_ ups n downs = biến động
_ life n soul --> don't know lol

+ as a matter of fact
+ beat around the bush

[always]

+ life n soul = hehehe
+ as a matter of fact = in fact
+ beat around the bush = nói vòng vo tam quốc

next ?
+ black and blue all over
+ the apple of one's eye
+ no-eyed deer

uhm...life and soul...hihi...beyond all guesses, it means a person who is the most enthusiastic in a party :)
Oh, all your idioms seem very interesting but I can't make out any of them.
Please explain them .
