社交美语

What would you do if you have time?

你有时间会做什么?

Surfing the Internet.

上网啊。

Yeah. Internet is a good way to bury your head in the sand.

是啊。因特网是逃避现实的好方法。

重点讲解:

Internet is a good way to escape from the real world.

Internet is a good way to bury your head in the sand.

Bury one's head in the sand.字面意思是“把头埋进沙子里”，这是鸵鸟经常干的事情。如今常用来指那些不愿正视现实或不敢面对险情的做法。
