to throw oneself at someone's feet
To throw oneself at someone's feet 這個俗語可以解釋為：公開對某人表示愛慕。比如說，一個男子在幻想自己未來的婚事，他對他的朋友說：
例句-3: I'm still looking for the right girl to marry. And when I find her, I'll throw myself at her feet and ask her to spend the rest of her life with me.
他說："我現在還在物色一個我認為合適的女孩作為我的妻子。一旦我找到了，我就要拜倒在她的石榴裙下，懇求她作為我的終身伴侶。"
To throw oneself at someone's feet 還可以解釋為：為了得到一些好處而溜須拍馬，或拜倒在某人腳下。下面的例子是說一個被判了罪的犯人：
例句-4: The prisoner who has been convicted as a traitor threw himself at the feet of the judge and begged for mercy.
這句話的意思是："那個被定罪為叛徒的犯人拜倒在法官的面前，求他發發慈悲。"
