see the elephant 也可說成 get a look / sight at the elephant，意思是“開眼界”、“長見識”。
“看到了大象”就等于“看到了世界”，就是“見過世面了”？因為“see the elephant”這句俚語誕生的年代，只有在非洲和亞洲才能看到大象，對當時的人來說能看見大象就真的是相當于是見過世面的了，算是開了眼界了。就這樣，“see the elephant”就成了“見見世面”的意思了。
例：The boy came and saw the elephant in the city.男孩到城里來大開了眼界。
see red
to become very angry非常生氣;暴怒
see red 源于斗牛，公?？吹郊t色就會發(fā)怒。因此，see red意思是“怒不可遏”、“火冒三丈”。
例：When Jim realized that he had been duped, he started to see red.當吉姆意識到受騙，他立即火冒三丈。

If you are pleased to see the back of someone or something, you are pleased that you no longer have to be involved with him, her, or it.巴不得…早點結束;再也不愿見到(某人)
