To begin gaining experience; To take a riskand try something new.



EX：

Let the new hire do that project so she can get her feet wet.
Whydon't you try getting your feet wet on the beginner slopes.

lamjin

又说一个

an elephant in the room.

lamjin

If you say there is an elephant in the room, you mean that there is an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about.

"Elephant in the room" is an English metaphorical idiom for an obvious truth that is either being ignored or going unaddressed. The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.
