A Piece Of Cake

中秋將至,華埠滿街都是月餅,令我想到 a piece of cake 這個英文諺語。

A piece of cake 直譯是「一件蛋糕」,比諭事情容易得像吃蛋糕一樣。其真正喻意不是在於事情簡單容易,而是指當事人擁有實力,有信人處理該問題。

【例句】

You have done some more difficult projects.  This is just a piece of cake.

你曾作過更艱難的項目,這對你而言易如反掌。

It may be a piece of cake for you, but it isn’t for me.

也許這對你易如反掌,對我卻不是。
