There seem to be some typos in the last three (see if the following corrections make sense) -

反呀()一口 -> http://www.mdbg.net/...%B8%80%E5%8F%A3

方事()真的药事()假的 - the prescription is real but the medicine is not (it's a trick/scam)

敢悠()不敢言 - dare not speak of one's anger/disapproval/disagreement

Others -

吃定心丸 -> http://www.mdbg.net/...%BF%83%E4%B8%B8

当面是人,背后是鬼 is similar to 表裡不一 (but in a more negative sense) -> http://www.mdbg.net/...%B8%8D%E4%B8%80

得理不让人 = 得理不饒人 -> http://news.hotpot.h...art_id=13141336

「得理不饒人」的「得理」,正式應解作「道理上勝過人家」,但不少人似乎解作「佔得上風」,英文怎樣翻譯,要看你怎樣解釋,例如:( 1) He is very unforgiving when he finds others in the wrong(他得理不饒人)。( 2) Once he gained the upper hand, he was very hard on me(他得理不饒人,處處難為我)。 To gain/ get the upper hand是成語,指「佔得上風」。
