英文：You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.

說明：這句亦可說成 You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.，字面意思為「你可以牽馬到水邊，但你不能強迫牠喝水」。

例句：

Mason always complains about not having enough money. I showed him an ad I saw in the newspaper for a part-time job. He said it was a good idea, but he never called the phone number. I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. (梅森老是抱怨錢不夠用。我給他看一個報紙上的兼職廣告，他說不錯，可是從不打電話去問。我認為師父引進門，修行在個人)
