be on pins and needles 坐立不安
pins指“大頭針”，needles指“針”，be on pins and needles的字面意思是“如坐在大頭針和針上”，喻為“坐臥不安”或“如坐針氈”。
A: It seems you’re on pins and needles today. Anything troubling you? 你今天似乎坐立不安。有什么事嗎？
B: Yeah. I don’t know why bad things keep happening to me. You see, my car was stolen and the warehouse had been broken into. I can’t put my finger on the causes of this damned thing. 是的。我不知道壞事為什么總是找上我。你看，我的汽車被偷了，貨倉也被盜了。我弄不明白怎么會發(fā)生這些倒霉事。
A: There must be someone who had planned that. He threatened to show you the color when you refused to give him a promotion. 也許這是有人精心策劃的。因為你沒有提升他，他要給你點顏色看看。
