- 至Flesh Out vs. To Flush Out
表达方式肉means to add substance. When writing a paper, for example, you may start with an outline, and then flesh out the body of the text later. The word肉means meat, or the muscular parts of a body. Anatomically, a body starts with a skeleton, and is then fleshed out with muscles, tissues, and so on.

- 顾问与顾问
