040　石沉大海
Fall on deaf ears

His leave is just like falling on deaf ears, and I have never heard of him since then.

他的离开就像石沉大海，从那以后我再也没有听过他的消息。

这个俚语最早源于15世纪，意思就是说给耳朵听不到声音的人听，那自然是石沉大海了。据说这个用法源于《圣经》里的“turn a deaf ear”。表示不重视某件事。

Kevin：The stock market is horrible. I have invested 10 million yuan accumulatedly, but they just fall on deaf ears.

股市真是太可怕了。我已经累积投进去1000万了，但都犹如石沉大海。

Rose：That is your problem. I have earned half million yuan in a year from it.

那就是你的问题了，我一年时间就赚了50万。

Kevin：Are you kidding?Please tell me your magic now. Thank you very much！

你不是开玩笑吧，快告诉我你的秘诀，非常感谢！
