wet behind the ears源于胎生動物,如牛、羊剛生下來的時候,全身是濕漉漉的;雖然它們的身體很快就干了,但是耳朵背后卻還是濕的。如果有人對你說,你耳朵背后是潮的,可能就是在嘲笑你像新生兒一般幼稚無知,即“年輕且無經驗的,缺乏經驗,乳臭未干,少不更事”。

【例句】
Look, I want an experienced teacher, I don't want someone who is wet behind the ears.
聽著,我想要一個經驗豐富的老師,不想要一個乳臭未干的人。

The committee took no notice of what Peter said; obviously1 they thought he was still wet behind the ears.
