提心吊胆

The grafter was constantly haunted by fear of discovery.

那收贿人因怕被人发觉而经常提心。

They went in fear of attack by marauding bands.

他们提心生怕遭到劫匪的袭击。

The creatures themselves are veiny, scary, and bordering on the grotesque, with Satan-worthy roars.

在着伟大的恶魔咆哮时，一切生物么青筋暴跳，么提心，么近于诡。

We feared a momentary attack.

我们为随时可能遭到攻击而提心。

The suspense was unbearable.

这样提心的状况实在叫人受不了。

Power being uneasy, held suspended over the menacing multitude twenty-four thousand soldiers in the city and thirty thousand in the banlieue.

提心的政府，在市区把二万四千士兵，在郊区把三万士兵，压在横眉怒目的群众头上。
