要自己翻译的
Obama's colorful expression-"close the barn door after the horse is out"-comes from the older saying"to close the barn door after the horse has bolted".To "bolt" was originally a horse or mule,to mean it had run away after it was startled or frightened.This idiom then became a collcquial expression meaning "try to action(to solve a problem)when it's already too late".

奥巴马有趣的表达-“马跑了以后才关上谷仓门”（中文翻译就可以是亡羊补牢嘛!哈哈）源自于一个老的说法-“马蹦出去以后才关上谷仓门”.“蹦”本是说马或者驴,在受到惊吓后飞奔出去.这个成语之后就成为了一个常用的说法,用来表达"当事态已晚才作出行动"
