A low bar to clear 并非难事
    2021-04-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Can you believe it? Jerry told me that I am his best friend at school.

B: Jerry doesn’t have a lot of friends, so being his best friend is a low bar to clear.

A: Don’t be mean!

Note: “A low bar to clear” refers to something easy to do. It’s an analogy to the high jump competition. In a high jump contest, a horizontal bar is set for athletes to jump over. Obviously the higher the bar, the more difficult it is for them to clear. Therefore, a low bar is a metaphor for a low standard.
