   1. There's a fine line between drinking socially and alcoholism.

  喝酒应酬和嗜酒可是有区别的。
  2. There's a fine line between helping1 your kids with their homework and doing it for them.
  帮孩子做作业和替孩子做作业可是有区别的。
  3. There's a fine line between dressing2 a little sexy and looking trashy.
  穿着性感和穿得很low可是有区别的。
  4. There's a thin line between courage and foolishness.
  勇敢和鲁莽可是有区别的。
  总结
  如果说A与B之间有个fine line,那么就表示:虽然A与B很相像,但其实有很大区别,而且通常情况下,A比B要好。这里的fine line也可以说成thin line。不过,“A好B坏”这种分法也不是绝对的。比如下面这两个例子:
  As a ?parent, I ?knew that there was a fine ?line between ?panic and ?caution.
  作为一位家长,我知道吓唬孩子和提醒他们还是有区别的。
  It's a fine line between being a backseat driver and a considerate passenger.
  坐在后座的情况下,指手画脚和好心提醒还是有区别的。
