Hey guys, I have some proverbs that interested me enough to try to translate. I am mostly confident in what I translated — I had two native speaking friends do a brief check — but I am all too aware it is easy to miss hidden meanings/cultural perspectives when studying proverbs/poetry/etc. I am still very much a beginner. I was hoping someone would be willing to take a closer look and possibly explain anything that may have went over my head. Thank you! ♡
相见易得好，久住难为人。 It's easy to meet someone, but difficult to get to know them.
路逢剑客须呈剑，不是诗人莫献诗。 “If you are a swordsman then talk about swords, not poetry.” Don’t talk like an authority about things you don’t understand.
人算不如天算。 No matter how much you plan, you can’t beat fate.
失败乃成功之母。 Failure is the mother of success.
一百个男人能够建立一个营地，但要建立一个家，非得有一个女人不可。 A hundred men can build a fortress, but it takes a woman to build a home.
执子之手，与子偕老。 Hold hands with you, grow old with you.
爱屋及乌。 “Love me, love my dog.” If you love someone, you will love what they love.
有情人终成眷属。 “Fate brings people together from far apart.” Love will find a way.
家和万事兴。 “If a family is harmonious, everything will go well.” Happy wife, happy life.
