Can someone translate this …. ( Shakespheare ) Coal-black is better than another hue,
In that it scorns to bear another hue;
For all the water in the ocean
Can never turn the swan's black legs to white,
Although she lave them hourly in the flood.

Coal-black is better than any other color, because it will never bear another hue: all the water in the ocean can never turn the swan's black legs to white, even if she bathed them hourly in the flood

as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

sadly it cannot chuck wood

what do you mean
