Recently, I learned some phrases like "open the Pandora's box" and "the apple of the eye". It's very native and impressive to use the former one to describe the root and beginning of evil and mistake, and emphasize something's significance with the latter one.
So, I want to learn more "phrases" like the two above.
1. the name of such "phrases" -- idiom, proverb, or something else?
2. please give me more common, specific examples which I can make my essay more impressive and concise.
3. by the way, is there any problem in the words I write above, you are welcome to pick it out.
Finally, thank you very much!
