A bird's eye view 鸟瞰
鸟瞰 a bird's eye view 意思是俯视，是因为居高临下，一览无余，让你能俯视全景。
今日小常识
Every January Atlantic gannets start returning to Bass Rock in Scotland. Around 150,000 nest here making it the largest single rock gannet colony. They return with the same mate and often use the same nest each year, spending most of the year on the Rock and then leave at the end of October, when the last of the chicks fly down to the West Coast of Africa.
每年1月大西洋塘鹅迁徙重返苏格兰的Bass Rock. 这里大约有150000个鸟巢，是最大的单岩塘鹅繁殖地。每年塘鹅与相同的伴侣重返这里，往往回到同一个窝，生活大半年后，10月底离开。此时最后一只幼鸟也将离巢飞往非洲西海岸。
例句
From the aeroplane we got a bird's eye view of the spectacular snow capped mountains.
From the top floor of our hotel we had a bird's eye view of the city below.
请注意
短语as free as a bird 形容的是完全没有约束，无忧无虑的感觉，就像一只自由飞翔的小鸟。
Eg: I was as free as a bird when I finished my final school exam.
After quitting my job I felt as free as a bird as I could do exactly what I wanted.
