挖地取寶
這一家是核心畫面本身:在地底挖洞取出資源,名詞是那個洞與場所,動詞是挖的動作;再從「藏有大量好東西的地方」這個感覺,引申到比喻的「寶庫」。

A deep hole or set of holes dug in the ground so that people can take out coal, gold, or other materials.

埋在地下的炸彈
這一家順著「東西被藏在地底下」這個共同畫面延伸:原本是把資源埋在地下等人去挖,這裡反過來,是人故意把炸彈藏進地下或水裡等人去踩。名詞是那顆炸彈,動詞是去埋它。
a landmine or sea mine · noun · A2
A type of bomb hidden just under the ground or under water that goes off when something touches it.
