鼠目寸光，汉语成语，字面意思是老鼠的目光只有一寸之远（A mouse can see only an inch ahead）。形容目光短浅，没有远见。可以翻译为“short-sighted”，与英文习语“see no further than one's nose”意思相近，表示“lack the ability to foresee problems, issues¹; to be narrow-minded”。

 

例句：

 

只有鼠目寸光的人才会看不见教育的重要性。

Only a short-sighted man will lose sight of the importance of education.

 

这个公司的未来由那个贪婪成性、鼠目寸光的领导决定。

The future of the company is being dictated² by that greedy leader who can see no further than the end of his nose.
