[quote=TRAVELLERMIKE,257653]Excellent thread Zoey, I look forward to reading more as you continue the series! I think I understand how you would use No.1 守株待兔... the foolishness of trusting to luck is obvious, but I guess we all fall into the trap from time to time, and could use this expression to indicate when we think somebody is wrongly wishing for something, instead of putting in the effort necessary to secure success. The use of No.2 叶公好龙 I find more difficult to imagine... can you suggest an example of how it might be used? I am not sure whether it could be employed in the same way as in english I could indicate I thought somebody was 'playing with fire', but maybe more 'insult' is implied?[/quote]
