中國昔時賢文 Chinese wisdom words of the past - (088)
只要自家上進,---Zhi3 yao zi4 jia shang4 jin4,
那怕人家看輕.---Na4 pa4 ren2 jia kan qing.
Only if you have the desire to do better,
You wouldn't be afraid of people looking down upon you.
---------------------------------------------------
好男不當兵.---Hao3 nan2 bu4 dang bing,
好鐵不打釘,---Hao3 tie3 bu4 da4 ding,
A good son will not become a soldier.
Good iron will not be made into a nail,
-------------------------------------------------
不是好漢不出鄉,---Bu4 shi4 hao3 han4 bu4 chu xiang,
不是肥土不栽薑.---Bu4 shi4 fei2 tu3 bu4 zai jiang.
Unless you are a brave man, don't leave your village.
Unless the soil is fertile don't plant ginger.
