每周一句 bury one’s head in the sand  (2012/11/6)

bury one’s head in the sand 把頭埋進沙裡 / 逃避問題

----refuse to confront or acknowledge a problem.

---- to ignore or hide from obvious signs of danger.

(Alludes to an ostrich, which is believed incorrectly to hide its head in a hole in the ground when it sees danger.)

Examples:

1. Billy, stop burying your head in the sand, and don’t let your wife handle the money. You need to understand the family finances and weigh in on all decisions

比利不要逃避了,不要讓你老婆掌管金錢,要了解家理財務,並要加入所有決策

2. If there is a difficulty, you cannot just bury your head in the sand.

如果有困難, 你不能逃避它. (Billy)
