Hi friends,
This idiom was one of the first that I remember learning: 守株待兔 (shǒu zhū dài tù). Literally: Guarding a tree stump, waiting for a rabbit. Real meaning: sitting around hoping for luck instead of doing the work.
守 (shǒu): to guard or stand watch
株 (zhū): a tree stump
待 (dài): to wait
兔 (tù): rabbit
