AntSoul

它总是在行走,行走,永远的行走…… 行走是它生存的恒久姿态和最佳造型。 它似乎有一双不知疲倦的脚。 ———我说的是蚂蚁。

have a hollow leg

Meaning:

Have a large thirst (for alcohol) or, sometimes, have a large appetite 酒量很大;胃口很大

Example:

You think you can drink him under the table? You're joking! He's got a hollow leg. 你以为你能灌醉他啊?开玩笑!他可是海量。

Origin:

Drinking large amounts (while remaining clear headed) has a very long history. The origin of this very colourful expression is self-evident: it's as if a person were pouring all that drink into a bottomless well.
