What do you mean a bottle is not half full?

As the saying goes, a bottle is not satisfied, and half a bottle hangs in the air. It means that the bottle won't ring when it is full of water, but it will ring when it is half full. Metaphorically, a plump person is modest and taciturn, while a shallow person just likes to show off and brag about himself.

This proverb is divided into two parts, one is dissatisfied with the bottle, and the other is half full.

A dissatisfied person is usually a very modest person, but in fact he is very good at one or several aspects. But most of them still aim at learning and strive to improve themselves.

A person with half a bottle of saliva is usually a person who doesn't understand something deeply, but always likes to talk endlessly and be a teacher. They feel good about themselves, never absorb the advantages of others, but think they are great.

Similar to the proverb: a bottle is silent, and half a bottle shakes.

The half-full bottle shakes, but the full bottle makes no sound-the dabbler of knowledge talks endlessly, while the wise man keeps silent; He who knows the least will brag the most.
