在屋里找一样东西，怎么也找不到，让家人帮忙找，结果发现那东西就在你眼前。这样的情形估计很多人都经历过吧?在英语里，这种情况叫做domestic blindness。

　　Domestic blindness describes the situation that when you are trying to look for something in your house, but you can&apost find it, so you ask your spouse or parents for help. Upon asking someone for help, he/she points to the item that you were looking for, which is usually standing right in front of your face.

　　Domestic blindness描绘的是这样的情景：你在家找某样东西，怎么也找不到，于是让家人帮忙找。而家人立即就找到了，因为那样东西就在你面前。我们可以将这个表达译为“寻物眼盲症”。

　　For example:

　　I must&aposve had a case of domestic blindness! I’ve been looking for my cellphone the whole morning, and it turned out that it is right in my pant pocket.

　　我一定是得了寻物眼盲症。我一早上都在找我的手机，结果手机就在我裤兜里。
