提心吊胆

They went in fear of attack by marauding bands.

他们吊胆生怕遭到劫匪的袭击。

The grafter was constantly haunted by fear of discovery.

那收贿因怕被发觉而经吊胆。

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

着伟大的恶魔咆哮时，一切生物要么青筋暴跳，要么吊胆，要么近于诡异丑陋。

We feared a momentary attack.

我们为随时可能遭到攻击而吊胆。

The suspense was unbearable.

这样吊胆的状况实受不了。

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

吊胆的政府，市区把二万四千士兵，郊区把三万士兵，压横眉怒目的群众头上。
