have a tiger by the tail 骑虎难下
这个短语的字面意思是：抓住老虎的尾巴。这是非常危险的局面，如果松开手，肯定对付不了凶猛的老虎。但是抓住老虎尾巴不放，看来也是凶多吉少，因为实际上本来也没有任何制服老虎的可能。中文所说的“骑虎难下”其实同这个短语的意思非常接近。
Once you start using heroin, you'll have a tiger by the tail. If you get hooked, you'll need more and more, it'll cost you more money, and you might have to steal to support the habit.
你一旦开始用海洛因，就很难找到退路。上瘾之后，需要量越来越大，需要更多的钱，甚至还要为了满足毒瘾去偷窃
