Can't see the forrest for the trees:If someone can't see the wood for the trees, they are so involved in the details of something that they do not understand or pay attention to the most important parts of it.  (只见树木,不见森林,一叶障目)



中文释义:很多时候,由于我们太过专注于一些细支末叶的事情而忽略了全盘的布局和考量。"Can't See the Forest for the Trees." 通常形容因为某些锁事而固步自封,没有格局和远见的短视行为。这个短语另有一个变体形式“Can't See the wood for the Trees”其表示的意义相同。
