“杞人忧天”,字面意思是杞国人担心天会塌下来(The man of Qi was afraid that the heavens were about to fall on him),比喻缺乏根据或不必要的担心和忧虑(unnecessary worry,excessive anxiety),与英文俗语“meet trouble half-way”意思相近。
例句:
yě xǔ míng tiān huì gèng hǎo,wǒ men xiàn zài bù yīng gāi qǐ rén yōu tiān
也许明天会更好,我们现在不应该杞人忧天。
Maybe tomorrow will be better. We shouldn't meet trouble halfway now.
