“兔子洞”是一种奇妙的际遇或困难的局面,我们通常会说“掉进兔子洞”。
The origin of the rabbit hole is Alice in Wonderland. In order to chase a rabbit with a pocket watch, Alice fell into the rabbit hole, then she entered the underground fantasy world, and began a bizarre adventure.
“兔子洞”的由来,是在《爱丽丝漫游仙境》中,爱丽丝为了追逐戴怀表的兔子,掉进了兔子洞,由此进入了地下的奇幻世界,开始了一场奇趣的冒险。
