🌟 호랑이를 잡으려다가 토끼를 잡는다

Proverbs

1. 어떤 일을 시작할 때 크고 훌륭하게 하려고 했으나 처음과 달리 끝은 초라하고 엉뚱하다.

1. ONE PLANS TO CATCH A TIGER, BUT ENDS UP CATCHING A RABBIT; BRIGHT BEGINNING AND DULL FINISH; BRIGHT BUT FRUITLESS ATTEMPTS: To start something with great ambitions, but produce anticlimactic results in the end.

🗣️ Usage Example:
  • 낚시하러 갔는데 잡히라는 고기는 안 잡히고 엄지손가락만한 게만 잔뜩 잡아왔네.
    I went fishing, but i didn't catch any fish, and i only got a bunch of crabs the size of my thumb.
    호랑이를 잡으려다가 토끼를 잡는다는 말이 딱 맞네.
    You're right about catching a rabbit while trying to catch a tiger.
