015 (A) a baby in the wood (B) rob the cradle

a babe in the wood 無經驗/易受騙的新手

You can't blame him for his mistake; he is just a babe in the wood in this field.
你不能責怪他犯錯,在這個領域他還是新手。

Suggestion:

This is highfalutin language. No one will understand you if you actually say this out loud. Babes in the Wood is not very well known , especially with the younger generation. Babes in the Wood is a story about 2 kids whose parents died and left an uncle to care for the kids. The uncle didn't want to do it, so he hired someone to take the kids to a forest and kill them. The murderer couldn't bring himself to kill the kids so he just abandoned them, and eventually they died. Robins buried them with leaves.


rob the cradle 老牛吃嫩草

Don't rob the cradle; she is too young for you.

你不要老牛吃嫩草,她對你言太年輕了

Suggestion: Hugh Hefner, the eighty-four year old founder and chief creative officer of Playboy Enterprises, would like to marry his 25-year-old girl friend. That is really robbing the cradle.

It's not my business that he robbed the cradle as long as he didn't
break the law.
