Main Topic: sitting duck

本日主題:容易遭受攻擊、欺騙的對象(請看內文,會更清楚喔!!!) 

The term"sitting duck" means a person or thing that is easy to attack. A car without side-impact airbags is a sitting duck if it is hit by vehicles.

詞語"sitting duck"泛指易遭受攻擊或批評的人或是事物。一台車如果沒有安裝安全氣囊的話,一旦被撞就成為sitting duck。

The phrase originated from the early days of hunting ducks. When the birds were in flight, they were not easy to kill. However, if they were still or sitting on a lake, they would be easy to target and kill. Therefore, "sitting duck" is used to describe a state of being an easy target to attack. picture.1

此片語源自於早期打獵鴨子的時候,當鴨子處於飛行狀態,是很難獵殺的。然而,當鴨子們站著不動或是坐著的時候,卻是很好瞄準,然後進行獵殺的。因此,"sitting duck"是來形容一個容易變成標靶然後被攻擊的狀態。 picture.1
