(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

说某人在 chasing¹ rainbows, 就是说他在追求不现实的幻想，有点“夸父追日”的意思。

例句

I know you want to become an actor² but I think you should stop chasing rainbows and get an office job. Becoming a successful³ actor is really hard!

Bob had⁴ hundreds of plans⁵ and wild⁶ ideas about how he could⁷ become rich, but none⁸ of them ever⁹ succeeded¹⁰. He was¹¹ always chasing rainbows.

请注意

A wild goose chase¹² 字面上的意思是“追逐野鹅”，形容那种花很多的时间和精力去徒劳的追求某件事情，而这样的追求不是没有方向就是方向错误。

We were told there was an excellent¹³ Korean¹⁴ restaurant in town and spent two hours looking for it, but we couldn't find it. We later¹⁵ found¹⁶ out it has closed¹⁷ down. What a wild goose chase!
