1. 鏈條的堅固程度取決於它最薄弱的環節。 2. 一著不慎,滿盤皆輸. Tim, Can I translate it into this: 凡事/人必有弱點? Thank you.

Elinor,
This saying does not imply inevitabililty. So there's still some difference. Tim

It gives an implied meaning close to another saying:
一粒老鼠屎壞了一鍋粥. A little grain of rat crap spoils the whole pot of porridge. The rat crap is like the weakest link of the chain.

i admire ur ability to translate every idiom well, now i'm searving 'PM' division, it's short for 'product management'
here are so many user manuals written in english, of course electrical related,it's so diffcult for me to read and make them clear,because it always have a diffcult meaning to what i learned at school , and my manager is a taiwanese he told me to take it easy, and his english is pretty good, i don't know how u taiwanese learned english, just like native speakers,can someone tell me?
