monto Posted May 16, 2008 at 03:21 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 at 03:21 AM 现在更给人点了相，暴露了行藏。 It is supposed to be jargons used bu gangsters or some thing like that. I can't explain it exactly. Roughly, it means that identity was discovered and thus exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted May 29, 2008 at 04:14 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 at 04:14 PM 彌天大禍 (mí tiān dà huò) is a set phrase which means a mistake/trouble so big that it can fill the sky. 闖 is the verb in 闖禍. Together it means that (someone) has made a very serious mistake/got into big touble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
