Chasing your tail 瞎忙活
The tail of a southern right whale, off the coast of South Africa 今日小常识A southern right whale's head measures one third of its total length. It is easy to identify, as the enormous head is covered in white-coloured outgrowths of tough skin. They are only found in the oceans of the southern hemisphere. 一条南露脊鲸的头部长为其整个身体的三分之一。这类鲸鱼非常容易识别，因为巨大的头部被一堆白色的硬糙皮覆盖。人们只能在南半球的海洋里看到南露脊鲸。 今日短语 短语 chasing your tail 的意思就是从早到晚忙个不停，但没有太多收获，就是我们常说的瞎忙活或无谓瞎忙。 例句 I've been chasing my tail all day, but I haven't got anything done! What a waste of a day! Organising a meeting for next week has been impossible. I've been chasing my tail trying to sort out a date, venue and agenda... I'll try again tomorrow! 类似表达 短语 to run around like a headless chicken 的意思是投入大量精力去做很多事情，但是没有任何真正的收益，如汉语里常说的“像无头苍蝇到处乱撞”。 I've been running around like a headless chicken all day trying to get ready for my holiday, but it's already 7.30pm and I've still got loads to do!
