Question

“师父领进门,修行靠个人”怎莫翻译?

Answer 1

英谚中 这样表达
You may lead a horse to the river,But you cannot make him drink.(本意是 牵马河边易,逼它饮水难.）
其他译法有：
Father（神父） may lead you to a monastery,but it's you who will make yourself a monk.
本人推崇这样的译法：T
1.The master teaches the trade,but the apprentice's skill is self-made.
2.No man is his craft's master the first day.
