To take candy from a baby
来自BBC英语听力
一般人在做任何事情的时候总是想找捷径，越容易越好，这似乎是人的本性。因此，在英语里有不少成语和俗语是形容办事很容易的。其中之一就是：To take candy from a baby。
Candy就是吃的糖，baby在中文里就是小孩。To take candy from a baby的意思就是：某件事情很容易办成，就像把孩子手里的糖拿来一样。请听下面这个例子：
例句-1: 'Getting grandmother to loan me the money was as easy as taking candy from a baby.'
这个人说：'要我祖母借我那笔钱那简直是太容易了。'
我们再来举一个例子吧。这是一个被关在监狱里的犯人在和牢房里另一个犯人说话：
例句-2: 'Louey told us that robbing this bank would be as easy as taking candy from a baby. But somebody told the police and they were waiting for us. We had no choice but to throw down our guns and surrender.'
这个犯人说：'洛伊对我们说，要抢那个银行简直太容易了。可是，不知谁去报告了警察。到我们去抢银行时，警察在那里等着我们。我们没办法，只好放下枪投降。'
To take candy from a baby，欺负小孩，从小孩手里拿糖，在想象当中是很容易的。但是，实际情况恐怕并不见得如此。发明这个成语的人也许从来也没有设法把婴儿的小拳头扒开，然后把那小手里的糖拿来。任何做过父母的人都会告诉你孩子一般都会紧握着手里的糖不放，要是你硬是要拿，他就会大声哭叫。可是，尽管如此，to take candy from a baby已经成为美国人经常用来形容办事容易的词汇了。
