意思
Something that is extremely simple or effortless to do.
文化背景
In Iran, water is the first thing offered to a guest. Because it is so fundamental and freely given, it represents a 'zero-friction' interaction. In Shia Islam, water has a tragic and holy significance due to the Battle of Karbala. However, in idioms, it usually retains its pre-Islamic sense of purity and ease. The struggle for water in Iran's history makes the 'ease of drinking' a powerful contrast to the 'hardship of finding' water. Younger Iranians might use 'آب خوردن' to describe how easily they bypassed a internet filter (VPN), showing the idiom's adaptation to tech.
