今天的美国习惯用语是:to ask for the moon。Moon是月亮。Ask for the moon按字面意思来解释就是:要月亮。作为习惯用语,to ask for the moon就是想做做不到的事情或是想要得不到的东西。比如说,我们社区的居民要求市政府修建一个新的健身设施。可是政府预算中根本就没有这笔开支,很明显这是做不到的。所以这是asking for the moon想要得不到的东西。比如说,有个老板要求工人大量提高产量。可是工人是怎么想的呢? 例句-1:The boss announced that he expects a 40% increase in productivity this year. But without providing updated equipment or adding workers, there's no way he can meet his goal. He might as well ask for the moon.
