◎临渊羡鱼，不如退而结网lín yuān xiàn yú，bùrú tuì ér jié wǎng
[It is better to return home and weave net than standing by water and admiring fishes;one should take practical steps to achieve one’s aims; It is hard to catch birds with an empty hand; It is vain to fish without a hook， or read without a book]比喻空怀壮志，不如实实在在地付诸于行动
⒈ 见“临河羡鱼”。
比喻虽有愿望，但只凭空妄想，难收实效。参见「临河羡鱼」条。
