| 词汇 | little rabbits have big ears |
| 词源 | little rabbits have big ears. Australians surely have lots of rabbits eating the landscape, but that has nothing to do with the origins of the phrase. It is probably an extension of the 16th- century proverb little pitchers have big ears, which warns adults that children are present and may be listening. A water pitcher handle bears some resemblance to an ear. |
