A Chinese Proverb
A few days ago, I wrote about the mistakes I made while speaking English.
Today, I encountered the same situation, which reminded me of a Chinese proverb.
"Boiling dumplings in a teapot, having the food but unable to pour them out." - When you read the Chinese text, you'll get the ingenious point.
It means having all the answers but being unable to articulate them.
I'm still in trouble, but I'm happy to share this proverb, especially for my Chinese learner friends here.
几天前写了我在讲英文时犯错的事儿。
今天遇到了同样的情况，这让我想起了一句中国谚语。
“茶壶里煮饺子——有嘴道（倒）不出”——“道”的读音=“倒”
意思是知道答案，但无法表达出来。
还在麻烦中，但很高兴地来分享这句谚语。特别是对正学习中文的朋友。

A few days ago, I wrote about some of the mistakes I madke whileen I speaking English.
Today, I encounteredfound myself in the same situation again, which reminded me of a Chinese proverb.
I reworded this sentence and the previous one, to make it clearer that you are talking about finding yourself struggling in the same way that you were struggling before.
"Boiling dumplings in a teapot, having the food but unable to pour them out."
It sounds a little strange, but i don't know how best to translate it. So i'll leave it as it is.
