| Also, save ones neck or skin. Rescue one from a difficult situation or harm. The allusion in the first term is no longer clear. It may simply be a comical way of referring to ones body or ones life. At the time it was first recorded, in 1654, bacon was a prized commodity, so perhaps saving ones bacon was tantamount to keeping something precious. eg:, The boat capsized in icy waters, but the life preservers saved our skins. Note:save ones bacon也可以说save ones neck或者save ones skin，意思是救人于难，使某人免受伤害。bacon的原意为熏肉，大约是对人身体或者生命的幽默称呼。如今可追溯的最早记录是1654年熏肉被当作奖赏，也许因此指代一些非常珍贵的东西。例：船在冰水中倾覆，但是救生员救了我们的命 |
