HuoXing Posted February 13, 2020 at 07:52 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 at 07:52 PM I have come across the following proverb: 车到山前必有路。 but I don't understand what it really means. Google says: "There must be a road to the mountain". Is that somewhat accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsima Posted February 13, 2020 at 09:36 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 at 09:36 PM something along the lines of, "when the cart reaches the mountain, a road will surely be there to take", as in 'we can worry about that when we get there', reassurance that things will work out in due course 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteo Posted February 13, 2020 at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 at 10:00 PM People here often say "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it", I think the meaning is comparable - although the "everything is going to be fine" part is less emphasized! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuoXing Posted February 14, 2020 at 09:32 AM Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 at 09:32 AM Thank you both, Tomsima and matteo, for your explanations regarding the meaning of the proverb. I find it to be a nice one, now that I understand it's meaning better. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
