化险为夷，汉语成语，意思是化险阻为夷途。比喻使危险的情况或处境变为平安。可以翻译为“head off a disaster，turn danger into safety”，与英文习语“land on one’s feet”意思相近，表示“to be in good condition after having a difficult experience或to make a lucky recovery from potential disaster”。

例句：

Whatever risks Jim takes, he always seems to land on his feet.

有些人似乎总有办法化险为夷。Some people always seem to have the knack of falling on their feet.
