今年是鼠年，中文里有许多与“鼠”有关的成语，下面一起来学习一个“鼠”字成语吧。
“鼠目寸光”，字面意思是老鼠的眼睛只能看到一寸远（The eyes of a rat can see only an inch of light ）。用来形容“目光短浅，没有远见”，可以翻译为“as short-sighted as mice，see no further than one's nose”。
例句：
她太自私了，鼠目寸光。She is so selfish. She can see no further than the end of her nose.
只有鼠目寸光的人才看不见教育的重要性。
Only a short-sighted man will lose sight of the importance of education.
