literally to search for a donkey while riding one; used to describe forgetting what you already have or looking far and wide for something right in front of you

(idiom) to make do with an unsatisfactory job, romantic relationship, or situation while actively looking for a better one

literally meaning "to search for the donkey while riding on it"; it describes looking for something that is already in one's possession, or looking for a better job while already employed.

(idiom) we will see what happens; wait and see who is right. This is a two-part allegorical saying based on the pun that both riding a donkey and reading a script involve the words [[走|走|zou3]] and [[瞧|瞧|qiao2]], implying the final outcome depends on how things develop.
