A glance without banter
speaks no fumble.Reading the words banter, fumble and glance on 3WW reminded me of this English translation of an old Chinese proverb I may have come across in a fortune cookie.
As is the case with many other Chinese proverbs, the meaning of this one is rather enigmatic.
– Leonard "Proverbial" Blumfeld
a great saying.
ReplyDeleteThey're often so enigmatic because they're English translations are inexact or poorly done, just due to the different ways ideas are expressed in each language.
