And if you can't take Mohammad to the mountain, then you got to get Mohammad to bring the mountain down to his house.
If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed. 山不就我,我向山行。
这 句谚语的意思是说“用某种方式达不到目的的话就迁就一下换别的方法”,艾玛是跟Will说他们既然不来找你,你就自己找上门去。这里的穆罕默德是指伊斯兰 教的创始人穆罕默德,他有一次要求Mount Safa(沙发山?!)来到他的面前,山当然不答应了,穆罕默德便说'God is merciful. Had it obeyed my words, it would have fallen on us to our destruction. I will therefore go to the mountain and thank God that he has had mercy on a stiff-necked generation.'大体意思就是“它既然不过来那就我过去好了。”这个谚语是由弗朗西斯·培根传到英语中的。

What they were doing was just all smoke and mirrors. It's called "hairography." 
smoke and mirrors 障眼法
很有意思的一个习语,来历也比较好猜,就是魔术表演中魔术师总是会放出烟雾,摆个镜子来蒙蔽真相,让观众云里雾里,他就能浑水摸鱼、蒙混过关了。

we have to pull out all the stops if we want to win. 
pull out all the stops 全力以赴 Make every possible effort.
据说这个习语的来历是风琴,stops是指琴上的音栓,按下音栓就阻止了气流通过,风琴上的这个音就没声了;所以如果演奏者pull out all the stops,那么这架管风琴上所有的笛管就是在齐声共鸣了。

I am under siege.
under siege 陷入围困,四面楚歌
