Perhaps you just joined a new company， and your boss already wants you to give a presentation in front of the C.E.O. Like when we learn to swim， we should start in the shallow water where we can stand. If someone is pushed to do something before they are ready， we can say they are 'in at the deep end'.

　　——Philip Simpson

　　从难处入手

　　也许你刚进入一家新的公司，而你的老板就要求你在C.E.O面前做报告。这好比是你在学游泳时，应该在水浅可以站立的地方开始学习。如果某人还没准备好就被催促着行事，我们就可以说他们“in at the deep end（即从难处入手）”
