噬臍莫及噬臍何及shì qí mò jílike tryingto bite one’s own navel—it’s too late to repent
? 若不早圖，后君噬臍，其及圖之乎？”(《左傳·莊六年》) If we do not take this early measure,hereafter you will have to gnaw your navel；—will you then be able to take any measures? 噬臍莫及shì qí mò jí噬臍：用嘴咬肚臍；莫及：夠不著。形容后悔就像用嘴咬肚臍一樣做不到。比喻后悔晚了。impossibility, it is too late to repent, repentance is too late |
