| 學個詞：＂A white elephant＂ In English, when you call something a 'white elephant' you mean that it's large, costs a lot of money to keep and has no useful purpose. So a 'white elephant' is something that might look good but in reality it's a waste of space. Examples ====== I've paid a lot of money for this posh designer dress that I never use. It is a white elephant! The new airport is a white elephant! It's got four runways and it's equipped with the latest technology, but not many people visit this region. ====== ＂A white elephant＂好看不中用，指累贅多餘之物，亦可說如同＂雞 From BBC learning English |
