[quote=BOBERT,380291]Well actually I enjoy reading Chinese idioms. I think HERBEAT might also enjoy learning ours. I am always suprised how similar some are. For example; yi shi er niao (一石二鳥) "one arrow two birds" is almost exactly the same as "to kill two birds with one stone." A shady charachter is sometimes described in Chinese as someone who is "not 3, not 4" which makes perfect sence to me. The English language, and the Chinese language comprises myriad idioms, metaphors and proverbs. If you don't make the effort to understand them you will never understand colloquial speech or writing.[/quote]
