Jim Posted July 15, 2024 at 01:00 PM Report Posted July 15, 2024 at 01:00 PM You see 天助勇者, also 天佑勇者; think the former is perhaps closer. I'd suggest getting it done in Latin instead, which is regarded as the original. 2 Quote
Tomsima Posted July 15, 2024 at 02:29 PM Report Posted July 15, 2024 at 02:29 PM I agree with Jim on the Latin, although interesting question, my first thought was 不入虎穴焉得虎子 though I suppose thats more with risk comes reward 🤔 Quote

cncorrect Posted July 16, 2024 at 04:51 AM Report Posted July 16, 2024 at 04:51 AM It's an English proverb. However, there are no exact Chinese proverbs and idioms that directly correspond to it. It can only be translated to a sententce like “幸运眷顾勇敢的人” or “天佑勇者” , which was suggested by Jim, and I really appreciate it. By the way, I watched a video recently where a man suggested not to get tattoos when your're young, because the words can become distorted when the skin ages. Does that make sense? Quote
New Members LiamJohnson328 Posted July 25, 2024 at 08:07 AM New Members Report Posted July 25, 2024 at 08:07 AM There is another Chinese saying which somehow expresses the meaning of “fortune favours the bold” in rough idiomatic way—饿死胆小的撑死胆大的. This saying fits very well with fortune favours the bold proverb. Quote
