只见树木不见森林 翻译

下面这句中的引号部分：
许多学生只记单词，没有把单词放在词组和句子中，结果“只见树木不见森林”，效果不佳
直译当然好翻，我需要意译，谢谢

Answer 1

只见树木，不见森林可以译为一下三种形式：

1. cannot see [fail to see] the wood for the trees;

2. see the minute details but miss the major issue;

3. see the trees but not the forest

比喻只看到局部，看不到整体或全部。或比喻目光短浅。【出处】：毛泽东《矛盾论·矛盾的特殊性》：“或者叫做只看见局部，不看见全体，只看见树木，不看见森林。”
