to survive a difficult situation
在困难的情况下生存 (zai kunnan de qingkuang xia shengcun)
"We managed to ride out the storm without damage."
"我们成功地度过了风暴，没有造成损害。" (wo men chenggong de duoguole fengbao, mei you zaocheng sunhai)
patience brings positive results
to do something secretly or deceitfully against someone
to try to teach someone something that is difficult for them...
to assert authority and dictate how things should be done
to study very hard
something that suits one’s interests or abilities perfectly
