IDIOMS---2005/Dec/8

01. at first sight: the first impression
02. forty winks: to take a nap / to take a short sleep
03. in seventh heaven: extremely happy
04. of two minds: face a dilemma
05. on cloud nine: extremely happy
06. on second thought: to have an idea after thinking of something

clearly. To think twice before makes decision.
07. to put two and two together: We saw our neighbors putting

suitcases into their car. So we put two and two together and
concluded that they were going away on a trip. (to use the evidence
around you, to figure out the answers.)
08. second nature: Learning to golf is second nature to some people.

They can hit the ball well with no problem the very first time.
(talent, something you are good at naturally.)
09. second to none: The food in that restaurant is second to none.

You really get the best meals there. (best)
10. six of one, half a dozen of the other: we can either stay home

or go to the movie. I don't care. For me, it's six of one, half a
dozen of the other. (doesn't matter)
11. six sense: Lisa has a sixth sense for directions. She always

knows which road to take to get where she wants to go.
(intuition, gut feeling)
12. got carried away: Over doing something
