Greek As Linguistic Underwear
a: Greek ~
b: underwear
What: "A good preacher once said that Greek is like underwear. We ought to use it for support, but not wear it on the outside." This is reference to studying the Gospels which, of course, were written in ancient Greek. I've always thought that Biblical Literalists should be studying and reading the Bible in the original Greek. If they believe that these books are the inspired word of God, then reading them in translation is absurd.

a: respiratory system ~
b: "umbrella" at the top of the body
What:
"rom Chinese thinking, the respiratory system is like an "umbrella" at the top of the body, providing a protective cover for the rest of the body. The lungs interface with the world outside our body, and as our first organ of contact, the lungs also play a vital role in screening what the Chinese call "external pernicious influences" (EPI's), such as viruses, bacteria, and the ravages of wind, damp, and cold."
