随大流
Do as the others do

【注音】suí dà liú

【解释】从众心理是一种普遍心理，跟大家一样，不会出现俗话说的“枪打出头鸟”。
“To do as the others do” is a common mentality，so that one will not court danger as the saying goes：“the bird out of the group will be shot.”

【例子】
例：做服装设计的必须有创新意识，不能随大流。

Ex.：As a fashion designer, one must pursue novelty instead of following the trend.
