Lead balloon是“铅气球”，这个短语是什么意

    思？请看对话：

    A: Did you go camping for the weekend?

    B: No, we went to a fancy resort instead. My girlfriend is not a nature lover. The camping idea went over like a lead balloon after she told my friends she had no intention of sleeping on the ground in a tent.

    Note: This idiom means to “be received badly by an audience, fail completely and be considered a flop by the public.” Go over like a lead balloon is the U.S. version of this phrase. In Britain, a complete failure goes down like a lead balloon. The phrase is American in origin and the first mention of a lead balloon with the meaning of something that fails comes from a Mom-N Pop cartoon that was syndicated in several newspapers in June 1924. Actually, that coinage went over like a lead balloon itself and the phrase didn’t appear again until after WWII.
