“敲门砖”,字面意思指“拣来敲门、门开后即被丢弃的砖头(brick picked up to knock on the door and thrown away when it has served its purpose)”。常用来比喻世人借以猎取功名的工具(thing used as a 1 for fame and position),一达目的,即可抛弃。
例句:
有些人常把读书当成“敲门砖”,一旦功名到手,书籍也就被束之高阁了。
some people take attending to school only as a stepping stone to status; once they succeed, all the books will be shelved.
