請問細水長流 & 進退兩難 ~~~ 英文應該點寫?

之前古德明個專欄曾講過細水長流的英文，
細水長流，如果你要直譯的話，可以這樣譯：
A small trickle takes a long time to exhaust.

如果要意譯，可以參考一個來自莎士比亞戲劇《查理二世》的成語：
Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short
（細雨下得很長久，暴雨卻很短暫）

例如：He is not rich, but as he always spends cautiously, he seems never short of money. Small showers last long

至於進退兩難，有以下幾個譯法：
（We）have a wolf by the ears－即是進退兩難，騎虎難下的意思

up a tree/up the pole　(adv.)－處於困境 Example: he was up a tree/ up the pole.

in a cleft stick (adv.)

Between the Devil and the deep blue sea
Example: he is going to place us between the Devil and the deep blue sea
