Legend has it that several blind men tried sizing up an elephant, and became locked in an endless squabble about what it looked like, because each mistook the part within his reach for the whole — the one who felt a leg said the elephant looked like a pillar, the one who felt the body argued that it resembled a wall, and the one who grabbed the tail believed it looked like a snake.}〈比喻fig.〉对事物了解不全面,固执一点,乱加揣测。{take a part for the whole and obstinately try to extrapolate} |
