“因噎廢食”，漢語成語，字面意思是因為吃東西噎住，索性就什么也不吃了（give up eating for fear of choking）。比喻由于出了點小毛病或怕出問題就把應該做的事情停下來不。可以翻譯為“refrain from doing something for fear of a possible risk”。與英文俚語“throw the baby out with the bath water”意思相近，表示“to discard something valuable along with something not desired, usually unintentionally”。

例句：

不能因為一個航空公司出問題就關閉機場，這樣做就是因噎廢食。You can’t clo the airport becau one airline has problems--that’s just throwing out the baby with the bath water.
