掩耳盗铃

#made by EZ# Plugging One’s Ears While Stealing a Bell Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor’s doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people’s attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever “idea”. He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief. plug 塞住 steal 偷（一般过去时stole） catch one’s attention 引起某人的注意 unfortunately 不幸地 disappointment 失望 be caught on the spot 被抓个正着
