Chinese term
沧海遗珠

在一本小说上看到这个成语，也查到了它的意思是“大海里的珍珠被采珠人所遗漏，比喻埋没人才或被埋没的人才”，出自《新唐书·狄人杰传》：“仲尼称观过知仁，君可谓沧海遗珠矣。”但是不太清楚英语当中用哪个表达可以传达同样的意思。请问这个成语要怎么翻译呢？

Comment: "谢谢！我原来找到的也只有这个答案比较接近，只是遗憾这个词的意境就这样丢失了。既然大家肯定了这个短语，那就用它了！呵呵"

Note from asker:
| 谢谢！我找不到英文中关于"pearl"的那个表达，应该是照着中文的异化了，那也很厉害！只是我还琢磨着"drop"这个单词：要drop某物，是不是暗示着之前要先拥有这样东西？ |
