windmilling

The grinder was powered by a windmill.

这磨盘由风车提供动力。

The sails of the windmill were wheeling round.

风车个不停。

The propeller will windmill and crank the engine.

螺旋浆将旋并动引擎曲柄。

The sails of the windmill are now at rest.

风车帆叶现在静止不动了。

For some reason he thinks everyone is out to get him, but he’s really just tilting at windmills.

不知为什么他觉得每个都想害他,但其实他不过是在庸自扰。

He dangles wildly upside-down for a moment, arms windmilling, then gets his hands pressed firmly against the opposite wall.The rat scurries off, pissed.

他摇晃着、手臂挥动着倒挂了一会儿，然后用手使劲抵墙，那老鼠匆匆地跑掉了。
