“小巫见大巫”,汉语成语,意思是“小巫法术小,大巫法术大,小巫的法术在大巫面前显得微不足道(a small sorcerer in the presence of a great one -- pale into insignificance1 by comparison)”。后比喻能力高低相差悬殊,相形见绌(appear insignificant2 when compared with;be pale before)。
 
例句:

Our greenhouse is nothing compared with yours.
 
比起他来,我过去所受的那些苦难也只是小巫见大巫,算不得什么。
What little pain and adversity I've experienced so far is simply nothing compared to what he's been through.
