[quote=ZOEY,323707]Seems no one is interested in my post. Well, I just answer my question by myself. Ní pú sa guò hé – zì shēn nán bǎo 泥菩萨过河 – 自身难保 The clay idol crosses a river – one is hardly able to save oneself, let alone assist others Zhú lán dǎ shuǐ – yī chǎng kōng 竹篮打水 – 一场空 Draw water with a bamboo basket – achieving nothing; fruitless labor Gǎn miàn zhàng chuī huǒ – yí qiào bù tōng 擀面杖吹火 – 一窍不通 Try to blow the fire with a rolling pin – be completely ignorant or irrelevant Jiāng Tàigōng diào yú – yuàn zhě shang gōu 姜太公钓鱼 – 愿者上钩 Fish like Jiang Taigong (prime minister of Zhou Dynasty in Chinese history) , who cast a hook-less and bait-less line for the fish that wants to be caught – ask for willing victim or collaborator [/quote]
