some expressions from boxing(please tell me which one is still used and which one is rarely used) in one’s corner / on the ropes Whether you are on the ropes or not, remember I’ll be always in your corner. knockout/out for the count/ saved by the bell A:You remember the game last weekend? B:Yeah, it’s a knockout. Bob was punched to the ground, almost out for the count, but he was saved by the bell. a hit below the belt(a low blow) A:You know what? Jordan’s jersey was stolen just after the shootaround, so he couldn’t play the game until someone found it in a trash can, and his team lost by 113-103. B:Wow,that’s nasty.It’s definitely a hit below the belt. answer the bell/throw in the towel I know Mike for a long time, he hates throwing in the towel, he works so hard to be ready to answer the bell,there’s nothing can stop him from getting what he wants.

Just Another Normal Day Sitting at the desk, facing the face of my computer in front of me, the sounds of people talking enter my ears, typing and typing, again and again, sometimes life is kind of ridiculous, but I still can take heart from green plants on the windowsill which I planted by myself. Yes, it's another normal day.
