2. kill two ______ with one stone

English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It’s raining heavily”, you could say “1_________________________”. Another reason to use idioms is that they are concise. For example, to describe someone who is always working or busy doing something, we can say they are 2________________.
If they’re rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “3__________________”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “4_________________________________________”
(people do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “5____________________________” (solve two problems with one action) – are there corresponding idioms in Chinese?
It’s raining cats and dogs.
