\"10-idioms-about-life_small\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To be the light of someone’s life<\/strong>: to be the most important person in someone’s life– to give someone’s life meaning (ex. My son is the light of my life.)<\/p>\n

Lead a double life:\u00a0<\/strong>to have a second, secret life that is usually not socially acceptable (ex. I just found out she leads a double life: she is a lawyer during the day, but a stripper at night)<\/p>\n

The best things in life are free:\u00a0<\/strong>the best things in life don’t cost money: love, relationships, etc…<\/p>\n

Risk life and limb:\u00a0<\/strong>to do something very dangerous where you might get hurt (ex. He risked life and limb to save her from drowning.)<\/p>\n

It’s a dog’s life: <\/strong>one’s life is similar to the easy life of a\u00a0dog (ex. He sleeps until noon, works for a few hours, spends time with his friends and watches TV. \u00a0It’s a dog’s life.)<\/p>\n

Life is just a bowl of cherries:\u00a0<\/strong>everything is going well; life is carefree (ex. I love my job and my new house. \u00a0Life is just a bowl of cherries at the moment.)<\/p>\n

Larger than life:\u00a0<\/strong>more interesting and more exciting than an ordinary person or thing (ex. He may not be the best musician, but in the eyes of his fans, he’s larger than life.)<\/p>\n

Spring to life:\u00a0<\/strong>to become suddenly alive or more alive (ex. The party sprang to life after midnight.)<\/p>\n

Bring to life:\u00a0<\/strong>to make something exciting and interesting (ex. The bright colors bring the apartment to life.)<\/p>\n

Life in the fast lane:\u00a0<\/strong>a very active or possible risky way to live (ex. When will he get tired of living life in the fast lane?)<\/p>\n
