英文短语"Like water off a duck's back"是什么意思呢？从字面意思来看“就像鸭背上的水珠”，水珠对于鸭子来说是多么微不足道啊。确实如此，"water off a duck's back"翻译为"criticisms of or warnings to a particular person that have no effect on that person"，中文意思是“不起作用的批评或警告，耳旁风”。我们来看几个例句：
- "I won't give up on my singing career just because someone said I'm no good. Criticism is water off a duck's back to me! " - “我不会因为有人说我不够好而放弃演唱事业，这些批评我毫不在意！”
- "I told John not to drive so fast but it was like water off a duck's back. Last week he crashed his new car. Thankfully nobody was hurt." - “我告诉John不要开这么快但是他只当成耳旁风，上周他的新车撞车了，还好没有人受伤。”
- "The teacher kept telling the kids not to bang doors but it was like water off a duck's back." - “老师一直告诫孩子们不要把门关得砰砰响，但老师的话都被当成了耳旁风。”
“耳旁风”出自《红楼梦》，源自成语“秋风过耳”，原文“富贵之于我，如秋风之过耳”，现在大家学会了短语"like water off a duck's back"，有没有发现自己也可以把这句古文翻译为英文了呢？
