walk a fine line

每日一詞---walk a fine line

to walk a fine line表示謹慎、小心行事的意思；有時後也可以說to walk a thin line。比如某些地區的外交官，必須懂得如何在當地叛軍與政府間拿捏分寸，就可以說：The diplomats knew they had to walk a fine line between the rebel groups and the government.

又例如身為丈夫，總得小心翼翼處理婆媳問題；畢竟一個是拉拔自己成長茁壯的母親，一個是相伴自己到老的太太：He has to walk a thin line when trying to resolve a dispute between his mother and wife.
