上大学的时候，校园里有好多柿子树。到了秋季，火红的柿子挂满树枝，甚是惹眼。不过，一般都是在一两天之内，挨近地面的树枝上的柿子就会不见了踪影，只剩下高处的一些还像灯笼一样挂在那里。那些挨近地面的树枝上的柿子在英语里叫做low-hanging fruit，它们会成为大家最早下手的目的，所以在日常也喻指容易达成的目的。

We have Mother Nature to thank for the expression low-hanging fruit. A fruit-bearing tree often contains some branches low enough for animals and humans to reach without much effort. The fruit contained on these lower branches may not be as ripe or attractive as the fruit on higher limbs1, but it is usually more abundant2 and easier to harvest. From this we get the popular expression low-hanging fruit, which generally means selecting the easiest targets with the least amount of effort.

大家要感谢大自然妈妈为大家创造了low-hanging fruit这个表达。果树上总有一些树枝是动物和人类不需要费劲就可以到的。挂在这类树枝上的果实可能没高在枝头的那些果实那样诱惑或成熟，但它们数目多而且更容易摘取。从这一事实便可以引出这个广泛用的表达low-hanging fruit，一般指选择用最少的精力就能随便达成的目的。

比如：All these ideas are low-hanging fruit and something most organizations could quite easily have a go at.

这类想法都是很容易达成的，而且大多数组织都能轻松上手。
