Mute not the viable gasp.
This translation of another Chinese proverb includes the words gasp, mute and viable from this week's Three Word Wednesday.
Once again, the meaning is not entirely clear. Does it imply, for example, that a non-viable gasp ought to be muted? What exactly makes a gasp viable?
– Leonard "Wisdom of China" Blumfeld
Exactly! :o)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting to think about, and gives more meaning to the 3WW words.
