海里的谁是鱼的眼泪
[hăi lĭ de shéi shì yú de yăn lèi]
'海里的谁是鱼的眼子' can be translated to 'Whose tears are they in the sea, the fish's?' This metaphor suggests hidden sorrows within deep waters—hidden or unrecognized emotions. Fish cannot cry, but by saying 'a fish's tears,' it conveys profound and unseen feelings or suffering.
