bury one's head in the sand 不愿正视困难，逃避现实，采取不正视现实的政策 将头埋入沙中，不正视现实 以上来源于：《21世纪大英汉词典》 bury one's head in the sandphr.① 迴避現實，眼不見為淨（因據說鴕鳥（ostrich）被敵追時僅將頭部插入沙中）You should not bury your head in the sand--you must face the facts.你不應該規避現實——你必須面對現實。网络热点长期以来，人们都认为鸵鸟受到惊吓（be frightened/scared）时会把头埋在沙子里以逃避危险（escape danger），也由此将bury one's head in the sand引申为“逃避现实；自欺欺人”。例如，在考试前，你可以用下句鼓励不想好好复习的小伙伴：You'll never pass exams if you just bury your head in the sand -- you have to face them. |
