hill是指那種“小山丘，小丘陵”，a hill of beans含義不是指“滿山的豆子”，其正確的含義是少量；小事；毫無價(jià)值；一文不值。
【例句】
For all the congressman's posturing about overhauling the tax system, his plan to do so is just a hill of beans.
雖然國會(huì)議員擺出了要徹底改革稅制的姿態(tài)，但他的計(jì)劃毫無價(jià)值。
But to tell the truth, it was not worth a hill of beans.
但說實(shí)話，我認(rèn)為那本書一錢不值。
