迷你對話:

那對父母找到他們的孩子了嗎?
B: Not yet.
還沒有。
A: It will be difficult for them to find the baby. It is like looking for a needle in a bundle of hay.
要找到他們的孩子是很難的,那就像大海撈針。
B: You said it.
你說得對。
地道表達(dá):
look for a needle in a bundle of hay
解詞釋義:
bundle是名詞,意思是“一捆”,hay是名詞,意思是“干草”,look for a needle in a bundle of hay愿意是指“在一大捆干草中找一顆針”,類似于漢語中的“大海撈針”。
支持范例:
