愛(ài)屋及鳥(niǎo) 第三個(gè)..
掌上明珠 第二個(gè)
想入非非 第一個(gè)
第一個(gè)看上去不太象但確實(shí)是 例子:
John asked his mother for a hundred dollars today．He is always asking for the moon.
約翰今天向他母親要100元錢.他總是想那些根本無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)的事情.
Don't hope for the lower tax for your income,that would be crying for the moon.
你不要指望所得稅會(huì)有所降低.那是癡人說(shuō)夢(mèng).
I told them they would ask for the moon if they wanted to have higher pay for less working hours.
我告訴他們,如果他們想縮短工時(shí)而又加薪的話,那是白日做夢(mèng).
該短語(yǔ)除去ask for the moon這一形式外,也可以用cry for the moon的結(jié)構(gòu).
