He is majoring in Sinology.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy is a fatal disease that infects cows.

He is so engrossed in his work, it's like 'Wu's cow gasping at the moon'.

He reacts excessively to even small problems, like the proverb 'Kureushi Tsuki ni Aegu' which means 'excessive fear'.

He succeeded in a difficult project with the spirit of 'ishi no ue ni mo sannen', which means great works are performed by perseverance.

She is very smart, but as the proverb goes, 'A clever woman can't sell a cow,' she can't do everything well.
