这才是百闻不如一见
Definition
百闻不如一见
Literally means:
it is better to see for oneself rather than to hear for many times
Actually means:
Something heard of is by far less impressive than seen with one's own eves. It means that there is a difference between what one has heard and what one has actually seen.
听说的事情没有自己亲眼看到的那样感受深刻。含有听到的和亲眼看到的就是不一样的意味。
