Morning English 047 20190307
Good morning, everyone! It's time for morning English.
今天的英文分享是“a pipe dream”。“dream”是梦想,而“pipe”指的是抽鸦片的烟管,所以这个短语来指出某人的计划或想法“行不通,白日做梦”。
例句
1. My mother says my father’s plan to sail around the world in his retirement is just a pipe dream.我母亲说,父亲想要在退休后扬帆出海、环游世界的计划只是白日做梦。
2. The marketing manager is very confident and insists that her plan to increase company sales by 150% is not a pipe dream.市场部经理坚信她计划提升公司销售额150%的方案不是空想。
大家学会了吗?
