“一票难求”该用英语怎么说呢？一起来看看吧：

The tickets are like gold dust.

这些票很难弄到。

讲解

Gold

是“金子”，

dust

有“灰尘、粉末”的意思，

gold dust

就指的是“金粉”，是很珍贵，很难得的东西。所以有一个习语，

like gold dust，

就是想说一个东西很难得到。
比如说：球赛的决赛门票一票难求，就可以说：

The tickets for the final are like gold dust.

大家在学语言的时候，有时候很难得到反馈，

Feedback are also like gold dust.

这个习语，大家用起来，可以替换

be difficult to get.

发音

读音上，注意 like gold dust 三个单词的连读，末尾都是辅音结尾，发音位置接近，所以省略掉，所以读起来是 like gold dust.
