让子弹飞一会儿
    2020-12-17  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Meaning:

Literally translated as “let the bullets fly a while,” this saying borrows from Chinese director Jiang Wen’s 2010 movie “Let the Bullets Fly.” It is now used as a metaphor for “it’s better to leave things as they are and see what happens next,” especially when the speaker is confident that things will develop as expected.

Example:

A: 你不是说这家公司今年业绩好,怎么股价一直都不涨?

Nǐ búshì shuō zhèjiā gōngsī jīnnián yèjì hǎo,zěnme gǔjià yīzhí dōu bù zhǎng?

You’ve said that this company had good financial reports this year, but why hasn’t its stock price soared?

B: 别着急,让子弹飞一会儿。

Bié zháojí, ràng zǐdàn fēi yíhuìr。

Be patient, and soon you will see.
