Movie fragment:
Ok, today’s idiom is
lì bù cóng xīn
力
不 从 心
---means “One's
strength does not match one's ambitions；ability falling short of one's wishes; ability not equal
to one's ambition；be
unable to do as well as one would wish.”
wǒ xiǎng yòng yīng yǔ lái tán huà，dàn shì lì bù cóng
xīn.
我 想 用 英 语 来 谈 话， 但 是 力 不 从 心。
(I tried to carry
on a conversation in English, but it
far exceeded my
ability.)
Ok, that is all for today.
xiè xiè!
谢 谢 ! (Thanks!)
xià cì jiàn
下 次 见! (See you next time!)
