break in: to overcome the stiffness and newness of  <break in a pair of shoes>

rock the boat: to disturb the equilibrium of a situation

上面的解释是我从字典上查的。
合适的翻译应该由上下文来定。break in应该有“适应/克服”的意思。rock the boat, 是“打乱 和谐/平衡的局面/形势/情况”等的意思吧。

You are right. The saleman said "break in" to me when I bought boots in REI. That's how I knew the usage. And I read "rock the boat" from an email yesterday. Then I think I should share them here. :)

流浪红舞鞋

应该是新鞋子不合脚吧。记得这样看过

晃晃

把一双新鞋穿得合脚。break in指新鞋子磨合的过程。

恩，我也查了字典，break in 是强行闯入，打破等意思。这里确实应该翻译成 适应、克服的意思。还是伊连牛
