Robin Hood’s barn罗宾汉的谷仓；现实中不存在的东西

【使用地区】：英国

【释义】：

To go all around Robin Hood’s barn means to wander in a roundabout way，finaly arriving at the right conclusion．Robin Hood，of course，had no barn，living in Sherwood Forest，and trying to get around a barn that wasn’t there was an apt description for early travelers lost in the woods．

To go all around Robin Hood’s barn的意思是经过迂回曲折，但最终得出正确的结论。作为生活在Sherwood Forest(谢尔伍德森林)中的罗宾汉来说，他当然没有谷仓；trying to get around a barn(试图绕过现实中并不存在的谷仓)是对在森林中旅行迷路者的恰当描写。
