1、THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Meaning：“The elephant in the room” is an idiom for a problem or controversial issue that is too big to ignore, but that everyone tries to avoid talkingabout because it is embarrassing or will cause conflict.

用来形容一个明明存在的问题，却被人刻意的回避及无视的情形。它的字面意思描述了，一个庞大的大象在狭小的房间里面，是非常明显的事实，因此，它也暗含了这个问题应该被拿来出来公开讨论的意思。

2、ONE-TRICK PONY

Meaning:A pony is a small horse, which is often used for shows, competitions, and exhibitions. People teach ponies “tricks” to perform at the shows. If a pony only knows one trick, then it doesn’t have a great variety of abilities. So describing someone as a “one-trick pony” means the person has only one ability or good quality that he/she is known for, and doesn’t have any other abilities.

只会一招的小马，就是形容一个人只有一个能力或者一个好的品质被大家知道，其实也没别的真没事。用中文的成语解释就是“黔驴技穷”
