關於Grasshopper的意思和用法的提問

A: I'm pretty sure that is the direct translation of a Chinese proverb since I found no information of "grasshopper on a rope" but plenty of the same sentence in Chinese. The figurative meaning of it is that we are both on the same side and tied to each other. If you failed, I would also fail. If the rope breaks, both grasshoppers will die. E.g. If I'm doing an illegal business and my friend benefits from it, we are "grasshoppers on one rope". If either of us get caught, the other will also be caught.

Overall very nearly perfect.
In the first sentence, when you have a possessive of a plural of this nature, it is easier to understand if you use the "of" possessive structure
In the second sentence, there is no need to repeat "grasshopper" as "it" is readily understood as the grasshopper.
In the third sentence, "defenseless" is the American spelling, the English spelling is "defenceless".

I'm not sure if the last sentence is referring to just the one grasshopper or insects in general because of mixed use of "it" and "they." If it's just the one grasshopper, I would use what I typed above. Otherwise...

For all grasshoppers: "In the middle of the pandemic, it's fun to live with them even if they're a kind of insect." This uses plural "they" for lots of grasshoppers but singular "kind" because they're all one kind of insect.

For insects in general: "In the middle of the pandemic, it's fun to live with them even if they're insects." You could also say "even if they're kinds of insect," but that would sound more natural if you were talking about multiple kinds of insect but not all of them, for example if you wanted to say that it's fun to live with grasshoppers and ladybugs but not wasps.

A: You can also say, "Chinese people eat grasshoppers and frogs." This way is slighter more polite.

A: One of the worst things I tend to do, when it comes to learning a language, is be a grasshopper learner. I jump from resource to resource to cover as much as possible, but end up learning very little. What I need to do is focus on a few essentials at a time in the pursuit of fluency.
