1. Nothing to sneeze at

· 不容小觑；值得重视；相当不错。
· 用于表示某事/某物具有一定的价值、重要性或成就，不应该被轻视或忽略。带有“虽然不完美/不是最好，但已经很不错了”的话气。
· ex：
· Getting a 3.7 GPA is nothing to sneeze at; I'm sure she'll get into a great school.
· An offer of $530,000 on your house is nothing to sneeze at; it's still more than you expected.
· I know you're not happy with how your cake turned out, but the fact that everyone ate it and liked it is nothing to sneeze at.
· Ten years? Ten years is nothing to sneeze at. 十年时间可不短

2. Not to be taken lightly

·不可掉以轻心；需要严肃对待。
· 强调某事是严肃的、重要的或困难的，通常带有警示或提醒的语气。
· ex：
· Running a marathon is not to be taken lightly; it requires serious training.
· Starting a business is really hard; give yourself credit, it's not to be taken lightly. 这绝非易事

3. Nothing to scoff at

· 不可嘲笑/小看；相当可观。
· 与 "nothing to sneeze at" 非常接近，可以互换。有时更强调“虽然可能被某些人看不起，但实际上已经很好了”。在程度上几乎没有区别（negligible difference）。
· ex：
· Getting a 99 on that exam is nothing to scoff at!
