“Bury one’s head in the sand”是由鴕鳥而來。鴕鳥生性溫順，因此經常成為一些猛獸攻擊獵食的對象。一旦遇到這種危險的情況，鴕鳥就撒開兩條長腿拼命地奔跑起來。當它跑到沙層較厚的地方，就一頭鑽進去，將大半個身軀藏起來。這時，鴕鳥再也見不到凶惡的敵人了，心中以為萬事大吉。但是沙層只能掩蓋它的腦袋，而高大的身軀仍然暴露在外，成為敵人攻擊的對象。所以，bury one’s head in the sand 就被我們用來指”逃避現實”。
Examples:
1. A lot of recent graduates have decided tostay in school rather than to try and get jobs. Some might considerthat burying your head in the sand.
2. The government is burying its head in thesand by ignoring the low birth rate. The society would decline if theworkforce continues to shrink.
“面對現實” – Face the music.
e.g. These new graduates should face the musicand try to get jobs. Delaying graduation or going to graduate schoolwill not solve their problems.
