Answer 2

so near and yet so far----------------远在天边，近在眼前。
flash in the pan------------------------昙花一现
a french leave -------------------------不辞而别

后两个解释如下：
2Flash本身有“闪光”的意思，可以引申为瞬间即逝的现象，因此这个短语常用来形容短暂不持久的功名和成就，就是我们常说的“昙花一现”。

从字面上看flash in the pan，有两种不同的理解方法：一种把flash in the pan解释为“淘金盆里的反光”，另一种解释为“枪盘上的火光”，这句话是比喻古老的手枪走火而射不出的现象。总之，这个短语的意思不外乎“空欢喜一场，好景不长”。凡是一个人或一件事情的发展上有先威而无后劲的便可以说那是flash in the pan了。

3.你到朋友家作过客吗？你有没有过不辞而别的经历呢？英语中我们把这种行为叫作take French leave。这句短语直译是“法国式的告别”，但这不是赚人眼泪的a tearful leave-taking，也不是徐志摩“再别康桥”式的潇洒别离。曾经有作家把它美化成情人之间的不辞而别，美虽美，其实是误用。因为这个成语是贬义的，指的是“擅离职守、不辞而别”，一点都没有我们想像的那样罗曼蒂克。
