迷你對話學地道口語第234期:大海撈針
迷你對話：
A: Have the parents found their baby?
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：
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“乾草”，look for a needle in a bundle of hay願意是指“在一大捆乾草中找一顆針”，類似於漢語中的“大海撈針”。
支持範例：
Trying to find a small boy in the large crowd was like looking for a needle in a bundle of hay.
要這一大堆人中找一個小男孩猶如海底撈針。
Seeking my key in the courtyard is like looking for a needle in a bottle of hay.
在院子裏找我的鑰匙就好像是在大海撈針一樣困難。
