Your question is interesting. I am a native speaker of Chinese yet I have been in the United States for many years. So both languages come natural to me. I can think of some examples: 爛醉 (Drunk rotten - used to describe some one insanely drunk ), 刻苦學習 ( enduring bitterness to study - someone seriously studying). The combination of adjective and verb is used everywhere freely in expression, so there are too many of them.

buy a printed dictionary and use it frequently.

Sometimes paper books are more useful than the internet. You could buy a Modern Chinese Dictionary which have related collocations under each Character. 有時候紙質書比網絡更好用。妳可以買壹本現代漢語詞典，書中每壹個詞下面都有相關的固定搭配。

For those who don't quite understand the question: Benbittle needs help in collocations in the Chinese Language, so bacically he is searching for the Chinese equivalent of Oxford Collocations Dictionary.

像ONLY和歆霏Hermione 说的，买本汉语字典，或者成语字典
