wet behind the ears可以直译为“耳朵后面还是潮湿的”。其实,它的真正含义是“乳臭未干、初出茅庐、年轻且无经验的”,形容年轻人“少不更事,缺乏经验”。
【例句】
Look, I want an experienced teacher, I don't want someone who is wet behind the ears.
听着,我想要一个经验丰富的老师,不想要一个乳臭未干的人。
Sarah knows the theory of the job, but when it comes to practical experience, she’s still wet behind the ears.
莎拉理论上知道这份工作该怎么干,但要付诸实践时,她可没有什么经验可谈。
