| 2009/8/15 get blood out of a stone = try to do the impossible 做根本不可能的事
 The Inland Revenue have sent me a tax bill for more than a hundred pounds, but they can’t get blood out of a stone because I just haven’t got the money.
 国内税务署寄给我一张100多英镑的税单,不过他们不可能从石头里榨出油来,因为我并没有那么多钱。
 
 having one’s blood up = being angry/exited使震怒,使发怒
 I shouldn't have done it but my blood was up and I hit him.
 我本不应该做那件事,但我一气之下打了他。
