1.我们中文中常管那种“很碍事”的人叫“电灯泡”,用英文表达就是the third wheel。如:I don't want to be the third wheel. (我不想当电灯泡。)
2.还有一个关于wheel的习语也很常用:reinvent the wheel,字面意思是“再发明一次轮子”。对于早已经存在的东西,还要再发明一次,那完全是重复的工作,白费力气,所以reinvent the wheel就是指浪费资源与人力重复进行无意义的事。如:Go check if other people have done that already so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.(去查查看别人做过没有,这样你就不会白费力气了。)
