find a mare's nest
mare's nest的渊源，简单地近乎荒诞——因为母马从不筑巢穴，所以mare's nest（母马的巢穴）自然也就不会存在。由此，“mare's nest”常用来比喻“原以为重要的追求，到头来来却空欢喜、梦一场”。或许，人们又觉得，不会筑巢的母马既使筑巢穴也会搞得一团糟（更为荒诞的推理），所以，“mare's nest”又可用来指代“杂乱、无序、棘手”的状况。
值得一提的是，mare's nest 常与动词find搭配，举两个例子：
He thought the girl would be his wife-to-be, only to find a mare's nest.（他一直以为那个女孩会嫁给他，到头来却是空欢喜一场。）
-It's said that a 60-year-old woman was pregnant. 传说一个60岁的老太太怀孕了。
-It proved just to be a mare's nest. 根本就是子虚乌有。
