地道表達(dá)：

make a mountain out of molehill

解詞釋義：

molehill本義為“鼠丘”，是指“有老鼠挖掘洞所挖出的土堆成的”，以此來形容少；mountain是指“山”，自然多，大的意思。所以該習(xí)語(yǔ)有“小題大做”的意思，與漢語(yǔ)的“小題大做”基本對(duì)等，但是文化色彩有差異。此語(yǔ)也可以用作make mountains out of molehill。

支持范例：

I am sure she'll give you the money back, so there's no need to start making a mountain out of a molehill.

我相信她會(huì)把錢還你的,所以沒有必要小題大作。

You're not hurt badly.Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill with crying.

你傷得并不重，不要大驚小怪地嚷嚷，小題大做了。
