[交流] 【Leisure chat】How to translate "行百里者半九十"?


I have read many translated version of this Chinese saying these days, however, it's hardly to find a satisfying translation.



---------------------------------
词目:行百里者半九十
发音:xíng bǎi lǐ zhě bàn jiǔ shí
出处:西汉·刘向《战国策·秦策五》:“诗云:‘行百里者半九十。’此言末路之难也。”

almost having done something is as the same not having done.

Ninety miles is only half of a hundred miles journey



都是从网上找到的。呵呵,意思到了。供参考。

Most of people give up when they almost get to the destination.
My own translation.
It is not what you want in this world, but what you get; and you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.
