　　睇呢張帖有感：Dictionary of Cantonese Slang
　　粵語存在大量抵死好玩生鬼風趣嘅俚語俗語，唔知外文（包括普語）有冇相類似又對應嘅slang呢？就好似「一箭雙鵰 Vs To kill two birds with one stone」。外文高手不妨齊參與，既可提高自己水平又可增長他人知識：

Dear Web master,

 

Go on to release your topics, take 2, take 3...................................................?

　　噉不如繼續以「牛」為主題啦：

 

　　Okay let's move forward and continue the theme "cow":

 

　　Take 2：牛唔飲水唔撳得牛頭低

Take 2：牛唔飲水唔撳得牛頭低

 

噉呢個梗係  You can take a horse to water, but you can't make him/it drink.

至於 Take 1: 死牛一便頸

 

可能同「as stubborn as a mule」意思比較接近，不過對應就唔係好對應啦，粵語形象好多。。。

Take 3....

 

" A cow cannot talk with a horse " VS " 牛頭唔搭馬嘴 "
