今年是鼠年,中文里有许多与“鼠”有关的成语,下面一起来学习一个“鼠”字成语吧。

“鼠目寸光”,字面意思是老鼠的眼睛只能看到一寸远(The eyes of a rat can see only an inch of light )。用来形容“目光短浅,没有远见”,可以翻译为“as short-sighted as mice,see no further than one's nose”。

例句:

她太自私了,鼠目寸光。She is so selfish. She can see no further than the end of her nose.

只有鼠目寸光的人才看不见教育的重要性。

Only a short-sighted man will lose sight of the importance of education.
