今日短語(yǔ)
說(shuō)某人在 chasing rainbows, 就是說(shuō)他在追求不現(xiàn)實(shí)的幻想，有點(diǎn)“夸父追日”的意思。
例句

請(qǐng)注意
A wild goose chase 字面上的意思是“追逐野鵝”，形容那種花很多的時(shí)間和精力去徒勞的追求某件事情，而這樣的追求不是沒有方向就是方向錯(cuò)誤。
We were told there was an excellent Korean restaurant in town and spent two hours looking for it, but we couldn't find it. We later found out it has closed down. What a wild goose chase!
