All of us think that John gets big-headed. 「患了大頭症」表示人因為升遷或佔了其他優勢而變得自命不凡,英文也有相近用語:get big-headed,只不過英文不用加「病」disease。
You can do whatever you want. I won’t stand in your way. 「擋某人的路」是指妨礙某人從事他想做的事,英文可用stand in one’s way,注意介系詞是in而非on,on one’s way是「前往…的途中」,in one’s way才是「妨礙、阻撓」。
Joe followed in his father’s footsteps and started his own business. follow in someone’s footsteps就是「跟隨某人的腳步」,表示效法某人做他曾做過的事。follow本身可以當及物動詞,但此慣用語是模仿他人的腳步、用他人的腳步前進,所以加介系詞in。
I’ll find her even if she runs to the ends of the earth. 「天涯海角」相當於世界的盡頭,所以有the ends of the earth這樣的說法。「盡頭」有很多,所以要用複數形ends。
Unity is strength. 「團結就是力量」的英文即為Unity is strength.或Strength is in unity.,unity和strength都是集合名詞,前面不加冠詞。
