"a far cry from something"

Samsung's forecast is a far cry from the bullishness of rival Motorola, which expects demand for new models to drive growth in the second half.

三星的預測和對手摩托羅拉看漲的獲利預測相去甚遠。摩托羅拉預計新手機的需求將帶動下半年手機獲利的成長。

這是摘自最新一期(2004年11月份)CNN互動式英語雜誌，財經短訊"Contrasting Mobile Market Forecasts"(行動電話業獲利預測差異大)

bullish:(行情)看漲的;上揚的

a far cry from something

一書解釋:

天壤之別、截然不同

(嗯，當然中文類似成語有很多，如"大相逕庭、"天差地別")

例句:

My income is a far cry from what my boss earns. 我的收入和老闆賺的錢有天壤之別。

I live on NT $1,000 a month. That is a far cry from "living very well." 我每個月只靠一千元過日子，那跟「過得很好」相去甚遠。
