鸵鸟(tuó niǎo) ostrich
Usage Notes:
“鸵鸟”是非洲一种体形巨大、不会飞但奔跑得很快的鸟，据说鸵鸟遇到危险的时候，就把头埋到沙子里，以为这样别人就看不见自己了，其实自己屁股露在外面，更加引人注目。所以鸵鸟也带有逃避困难的比喻义。
The ostrich is a large African bird that cannot fly but does run fast. It is said that when an ostrich encounters danger, it will bury its head into the sand because it believes that, by doing so, it cannot be found. But its rear end is still in plain sight, which makes it even more eye-catching. As such, the ostrich is a metaphor for escaping during times of difficulty.
