1. Slippery slope
【例句】
-The young couple has agreed not to allow their pet dog to enter the bedroom. However one day, the husband broke the rule and allowed the dog in bed for a little while. This is a slippery slope, now the dog wants to get in their bed every night. （小夫妻商定不準狗狗入臥室。但是有一天，老公壞了規矩，讓狗狗在床上待了一小會兒，現在它得寸進尺天天要和主人睡。）
-You can't help lazy people by giving them food and cash. It's a slippery slope and they will expect more from you and become even lazier. The best thing is to give them skills and they can earn a living from that.（不要給懶人食品和現金，那是無底洞，他們只會期待更多，變得更懶。最好的幫助是教他們一些謀生技巧。）
【中文】無底洞，得寸進尺，不可收拾
【解釋】A slippery slope argument states that a relatively small first step leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant effect.

【例句】
- Summer vacation is over. Children, you need to dial it back and start to focus on studying.（暑假結束了！孩子們，收收心，要開始好好學習了！）
- One thing is true about raising or improving one's living standard: once it has been raised, it's hard to dial back. （關於改善生活水平有一點是真理，由奢入儉難。）
【中文】回調，回撥，收心
【解釋】To reduce in strength or intensity.
