In this week's reading, I learned some useful expression, such as half-drowning. (險些溺斃) If I would like to describe this kind of situation, I would possible just use "almost drowning". Besides, I was wondering whether I can use "half-" to describe something is almost done, such as "half-falling". In order to prove my hypothesis, I asked one of my native speaker friends to verify it. She said she would just use "trip"in this situation. The trial-and -error process really increased my impression towards the word"half-drowning".
