I saw the elephant when I was in Shanghai. 我在上海時(shí)算是大開眼界了。 如果哪一天西外君有錢了 When I get rich, I will go abroad and see the elephant. 等我有錢了,我會(huì)出國去見見世面。
例句:

②As a volunteer on the childcare project, I really saw life.
作為兒童護(hù)理項(xiàng)目的志愿者,我真的見了不少世面。
英語中和elephant相關(guān)的表達(dá)還有很多
今天跟著西外君再學(xué)習(xí)幾個(gè)吧
誰也不談?wù)撨@個(gè)東西
例句:
①The fact that his 35-year-old brother was still living with his parents was a big elephant in the room at every family gathering.
他35歲的哥哥還住在爸媽家里,這事是每次家庭聚會(huì)時(shí)大家避而不談的話題。
英文釋義:
something that has cost a lot of money
but has no usefulpurpose
這個(gè)詞跟大象沒有關(guān)系
它真正的意思是:不需要的累贅物
例句:
Your car is a white elephant,as it often breaks down,causing you too much expenditure./?k?spend?t??r/
你的車就是個(gè)累贅,經(jīng)常拋錨給你帶來那么多花銷。
這個(gè)世界上有粉色的大象嗎?
答案是當(dāng)然沒有!
所以這個(gè)詞是指:
看到并不存在的事情,或想象中的事情
一般情況下
形容人喝醉酒的情況下
例句:
Anyone who hears his story thinks he sees pink elephants. It’s just such a far-fetched story, and very hard to believe.
任何人聽到他這么說,都覺得他是喝醉了。因?yàn)檫@故事太離奇了,難以令人相信。
