我在一个外国记录恐龙的纪录片 BBC恐龙星球第一季2 里 看到一句话 “以为鼠小 鼠比牛大”请问是什么意思

好像不是中国的成语

原文是it is like finding a mouse the size of a cow. 其实译文不准确。我的理解是指发现的这种恐龙比同属的窃蛋龙大了好多倍. 几乎相当于牛和鼠的对比。直译:就像发现了一只和牛一样大的老鼠。

附上相关前后文就清楚了

巨盗龙于2007年在戈壁滩上被发现
Gigantoraptor was discovered in 2007 in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.

00:13:26,450 --> 00:13:28,210
它骨骼的尺寸
The sheer size of the bones

129
00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:30,650
足以说明它的与众不同
revealed it was unlike anything found before -

130
00:13:30,650 --> 00:13:35,490
体长八米 重约一点五吨
eight metres long and weighing around 1.5 tonnes.

131
00:13:38,130 --> 00:13:39,770
从它的骨骼我们知道
From its bones, we know

132
00:13:39,770 --> 00:13:44,150
它比同属的窃蛋龙大了三十五倍
it was 35 times bigger than its closest Oviraptorid relatives.

133
00:13:44,850 --> 00:13:48,130
但是这庞然大物还没有成长完全
And yet this giant wasn't even fully grown.

134
00:13:48,130 --> 00:13:53,110
有点"以为鼠小 鼠比牛大"的意思
it was "like finding a mouse the size of a cow".
