嗯，就是保持一种饥渴的状态。

better to be a pirate than to join the navy还不单纯是饥渴的意思

I think “after 5 wear” means the dress after work. So it can be more relaxing

Not really, "after 5 wear" should be kind of formal, and there is an evening event you're attending, so it can't be too casual.

Yes, agree. Between formal dress and casual dress

being a pirate, you have to take risks and hence becoming more adapted to whatever environment you comfronted, while joining the navy, you are under wings, so you will probably lose chances of growing.

是不是一种心态？就是让大家平静接受，不要不安吗？

forked tongue是指青蛙，蛇，蜥蜴等动物那种分叉的舌头。

形容有人说话with forked tongue或者fork tonguedly，是指什么呢？

口是心非？？

差不多的意思。
可以用于政客们的承诺，或者简单的撒谎，花言巧语。

To make empty or false promises; to speak duplicitously or beguilingly. (Likened to having the tongue of a serpent, a traditional symbol of deceit and dishonesty.) It's becoming increasingly obvious that the president-elect spoke with forked tongue during his campaign. He learned quickly that speaking a forked tongue was an effective way of getting ahead in business.

这个好像有故事，期待。

linegar

Blarney城堡，城堡上有块善辩石，叫Blarney stone.
传说亲过这块石头以后，人就会变得口齿伶俐，能言善辩
所以kiss the blarney stone，也是说某人能言善辩
