A knight in shining armour

A white knight

Snatch someone from the jaws of death
To save someone from almost certain or imminent death.從鬼門關拉了回來。
其中“Jaws of death”就是“鬼門關”的意思。 Jaw既有“關口、關頭”， 同時又有“猛獸的嘴巴”的意思， 這個雙關隨著斯皮爾伯格指導的電影大白鯊（《jaws》）的爆紅而被廣泛用於猛獸災難片：
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat
To win, succeed, or be victorious at the last moment, despite the apparent likelihood of failure or defeat. 絕地逆轉（取勝）。
Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
To fail, lose, or be defeated despite the appearance that one would be victorious, especially due to a mistake, error, or poor judgment. 將勝利拱手讓人（詼諧）， 注意和上一個俚語的區別

Dutch courage
False courage acquired by drinking liquor. 酒壯慫人膽。
準確來說是喝了酒之後變壯了的“慫人膽”。
這是有典故的，篇幅原因，這裡不提了，拓展閱讀→“酒壯慫人膽”用英語怎麼表達？
（同名琴酒~）
同義詞：Beer muscles
Example：
When he drinks, Jeff always gets beer muscles and wants to fight every guy in the bar. 每次喝酒，Jeff都像是被酒壯慫人膽一樣，想要和酒吧裡的每個人幹一架。
Receive one's just deserts
To receive that which one deserves, especially a punishment of unfavorable outcome. 惡有惡報。
Just，平時最高頻使用的是它作為副詞的用法，表達“僅僅、剛剛、只是”等，例如“I just had dinner.”“I am just a little boy”。而在今天的習語中，just作形容詞，意思為“公正的、正義的”。
Desert，最為大家熟知的意思為名詞“沙漠”，發音為“/'dezət/”。而在此習語中，deserts意思為“應得的賞罰”，且一般均用複數形式，發音為“/di'zə:ts/”，這個名詞用法已經過時，在現代英語中僅用於“just deserts”這個固定搭配中。也正因為這個發音，此習語常常被誤寫為“Get one's just desserts”，需要注意，得到的是應有的獎懲，而非“甜點”。
Like rats deserting a sinking ship
Of people who begin abandoning something or someone that is failing or about to fail. 樹倒猢猻散。
All-out
Taking, requiring, or using all of one's effort or resources toward something; 全力以赴。

A final effort or attempt to solve a problem or avoid failure or defeat, especially after a series of failures or setbacks. 背水一戰；最後一搏。
Example：
The gesture has been seen by many as a last-ditch attempt to win voters. 這個姿態被解讀為拉選票的最後一搏。
