    Good job. I have 花樣年華 for (X). 不攻自破 for (20) but 不攻而破 is also valid; I have 冒犯 for (Y;) although侵犯 is usually translated as 'violate' but I would accept 侵犯 as 'offend' because both 'offend' and 'violate' share a sense of 'hostile action'

  • You are right, my chinese is rusty, 花樣年華 for "...age", 不攻自破 for "...own..." and 冒犯 appears more neutral. Thx for correcting.
