elephant in the room

釋義

1. 牛津電影裡 100%

   明擺著的難題；眾所周知卻避而不談的事

   a problem or question that everyone knows about but does not mention because it is easier not to discuss it

   Are we even gonna talk about the elephant in the room?

   And it's a bit of an elephant in the room, and I think it's time we discuss it.
