2--But what does it mean to be a "fish out of water".
 
1--Jonathan. Are you going on the work trip next month?
 
2--No...I don't think so. I would feel like a fish out of water.
 
1--Why? Why do you say that?
 
2--You know, I don't like forests and nature. I am more comfortable in civilization!
 
1--To feel "like a fish out of water" means to be in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable situation.
 
2--Imagine a fish trying to survive outside of water.
 
1--For Jonathan, being out in nature makes him feel like a "fish out of water". He would rather be in a big city.

譯文：

1--我們都知道魚生活在水中。
2--但什么是“如魚離水”呢？
1--喬納森。你將要在下個月出差嗎？
2--不。我看不是。我將會渾身不自在。
1--為什么？你為什么這樣說？
2--你知道的。我不喜歡森林，不喜歡大自然的環(huán)境。我在城市里會更舒適。
1--“如魚離水”表示處在不熟悉或不舒適的環(huán)境中。
2--想象一下魚在沒有水的地方努力掙扎。
1--對于喬納森來說，大自然的環(huán)境就好像讓他“如魚離水”。他更希望待在大城市。
