使用する際の注意点
- This is almost always used in negative constructions, often starting with can't, as it is a negative polarity item.
- The idea is that the person, having been told something like "Look at the forest over there", is unable to see the forest because there are too many trees blocking the view – without realizing that these individual trees, taken as a collective group, are the forest.
参考
参照
- ^ Heywood, John (1546) The Proverbes of John Heywood:
-
"You cannot see the wood for trees. Continued proverbial, being found in an anti-popish tract of the reign of Charles II. From him who sees no wood for trees/ And yet is busie as the bees/ From him that's settled on his lees/ And speaketh not without his fees,/ Libera nos. A Letany for S. triers, 1682."
