「in hot water」難道是「在開水裡」？
當然不是啦～～
in hot water
陷於困境;遇到麻煩
eg：The company has already been in hot water over high prices this year.
這家公司今年由於價格過高已經陷入困境。
in deep water
陷入困境;處境尷尬
eg：You certainly seem to be in deep water
你看起來無疑是陷入了困境。
hold water
符合邏輯，站得住腳
eg：This argument simply cannot hold water in Europe.
這個論點在歐洲根本就站不住腳。
