1、 THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Meaning：“The elephant in the room” is an idiom for a problem or controversial issue that is too big to ignore, but that everyone tries to avoid talking about because it is embarrassing or will cause conflict.

　　用來形容一個明明存在的問題，卻被人刻意的回避及無視的情形。它的字面意思描述了，一個龐大的大象在狹小的房間里面，是非常明顯的事實，因此，它也暗含了這個問題應該被拿來出來公開討論的意思。

　　2、ONE-TRICK PONY

　　Meaning：A pony is a small horse, which is often used for shows, competitions, and exhibitions. People teach ponies “tricks” to perform at the shows. If a pony only knows one trick, then it doesn’t have a great variety of abilities.
