(yì bō wèi píng, yì bō yòu qǐ)
English Translation:“One wave is not flat, another wave is rising.”
Meaning:
Use this phrase when one problem has not been solved, but another problem has just occurred. It’s used to describe situations when difficulties keep piling up.
Example:
刚解决了一个问题,结果又出现了新的问题,一波未平,一波又起。
(I just solved one problem, and another one immediately came up—“one wave is not flat, another wave is rising.”)
