Welcome to English in a Minute!
The ocean is huge! One single drop of liquid is very small. But, what could this mean?
Drop in the Ocean
A: Would you like to donate to my campaign, Save the Plankton?
B: Ummm, sure? I can give … $10.
A: Great! I’ll put you down for $10. My goal is $1 million!?
B: $1 million?!? My $10 is just a drop in the ocean.
A: If everyone gives $10, the plankton WILL be saved!
The ocean has so much water in it. If you add another drop it won’t make a difference. To say “a drop in the ocean,” means something is so small that it doesn't seem likely to make a difference.Originally published at - learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
