    Savage used as a noun is an offensive word for sb who belongs to a people that is simple and not developed, like primitive people, more like animals, less human. Wild has a wider scope of meaning. When opposite to domestic, it means living or growing in natural conditions. Or if you describe a person wild, you mean this person is lack of discipline or control, for example, a wild child. Or it can be used to describe a state of ecstasy. The two words are confusing because they both have a meaning of rude or violent. But the former is because they are not civilized，thus beastly. And the latter is just because they are too excited or lack of discipline. Of course a dictionary can offer you the most detailed information. Pls take my answer with a grain of salt. And good question.

    I suppose the second sentence should be, admire them forever would I, if I had the time. Same goes to Apologize to your mother, you must. But I don't think this one involves inversion, it's just an adding in oral English. If, apologize to your mon must you, it would sound a bit theatrical, like characters talking in a play. Inversion of verbs is employed for different functions: 1. to emphasize example: sentence 1,2, 3,5 2. serve as an condition, similar to "if" example, 4. you can also say, if I had ever devoted to God. And I'll add another, this is used when you think something is not very possible, less possible than "if". Should there be any problem, let me know. (meaning the speaker thinks normally there won't be any problems) Pls take my answer with a grain of salt, because I'm also a English learner just as you are.

    I see you are using a metaphor here, indicating there's no way out. But it is difficult to say whether it's right or not coz you are using a creative rhetoric. At least I can say the grammar is fine. If I want to describe something goes badly, I'd just say things are not going well, less creative, though.

    version 1, just to correct your grammar mistakes. 我没有很多要求。我当然想领到高工资，然而，我明白我要干活干得很努力。 我想在市中心工作，否则这是挺不舒服的。 我想多跟人们交流，一直去约会和访问。 在我理想的工作中，别的工作人员对我很好, 不是被日个人（don't understand this sentence），很快乐. 我不想去做没趣的工作，赚钱赚得很少. 这是我理想的工作，所以，我极其希望我能找到这个工作。 version 1, to make it sound more naturally. 我要求不多. 我当然想领到高工资，然而，我明白我要努力干活。 我想在市中心工作，否则会很不方便。 我想多跟人们交流，一直跟人约会，访问别人。 在我理想的工作中，同事对我很好，（dont understand this sentence），很快乐。 我不想去做没趣的工作，赚钱又赚得很少。 这是我理想的工作，所以，我非常希望我找到这样的工作。 note that the period in Chinese is 。，not .

    According to the context, the country was taken over by the rebels, so they are in euphoria, or even ecstasy. You know how people get out of control and make mistakes when they are too carried away. Hence the barely controlled and often dangerous euphoria. Only from the point of view of someone who knows nothing about Spanish history. So my answer can be totally misleading.

    In China, at least in the past, pig and dog are deemed as unpleasant and degrading animals (how unfair, since dogs are so cute and pigs are... yummy?), so the basic meaning of this word, or idiom means some silly and bad friends (from the point of view of the speaker), similar examples would be 狐朋狗友(since foxes are sly, so the meaning might be a bit different, maybe less lame?). My point is do not pay too much attention to the word, pig or dog. 猪朋狗友mainly shows the attitude of the speaker, that s/he does not like those friends of yours. But now, this word is less acrimonious, sometimes we young people in China use it as a self-mockery, for examples, 周末净和我那些猪朋狗友混了， I spent the whole weekend fooling around with my silly fellows. F.Y.I. Since my answer is purely from my experience as a native speaker, so it might be a lot different from the explanation in dictionaries.
