【like a bull in a china shop】
要數中國最美輪美奐的器物，無法不提起瓷器。中國是最早製作瓷器的產地，可追溯至新石器時代，中國文化離不開瓷器，中國的英文名字「#China」，指的就是精製陶瓷器，早在宋代，中國陶瓷通過海上絲綢之路出口至東南亞、乃至歐洲到北非。
今天到歐洲旅遊，也會發現不同的歐洲大宅中放置著中國的瓷器，例如在德國柏林「夏洛滕堡宮」就收藏了皇后夏洛特的珍藏——琳瑯滿目的中國瓷飾品。
之後將會為大家介紹不同的瓷器，今天要說的卻是一句非常有趣，與瓷器有關，在歐洲廣為人知的諺語。德國人常說「大笨象走入瓷器店」，英國人又會說like a bull in a china shop（公牛走入瓷器店），你又知不知道答案是甚麼？
（答案在下方）

答案：大笨象走入瓷器店，滿地必定爛瓷器，所以是用來形容人「笨手笨腳粗粗魯魯」。
