You are right.

Tina is good at learning English,She is my example.

when I saw this sentence, "the monk should knock or push the gate under the moon", I want to know, how to say "tui qiao" in English.
Maybe it is consider? Or weigh?

当我看到这句话的时候，我想知道，用英语怎么说tui qiao (推敲)。会是consider？或者weigh?

It's very interesting.

I would just say think over,if enough not enough,then,think over and over.
why is it so hard for an adult to learn another language(English for example),cause adults tend to translate what they want to say into English instead using the words they learn and master.
Adults have more complicated feeling and want to express more completcated idea,but the fact is your vocabulary is not large enough.
心月said she has finished New Concept book 1,I am sure if we really master all of it,we should have no problem in our daily communication.It is a pity that we just read it but not master it.
Rome is not built in a day.Don't tui qiao too much.

I am not quite sure, if I say push and knock, they will get my meaning?
我不太确定，如果我说push and knock, 他们会明白我的意思吗？

Before we making a big decision, we should think it over and over again.
作出重大决定前，我们需要再三考虑一下。

I am quite sure, if you say push and knock, they will surely not get your meaning!because "push and knock" is the story behind "tui qiao".Can I say it is a cultural background?

I agree with you.

last year during  Ausrtralia, I lived in my daughter's housefather home.
The housefather is Australian, he was born in perth WA.
he was a teacher in a high school ,teaching Japanese.
everytime we chat, My feeling is that I cann't express my means all(表达不出，或者说表达不完整)  .
sometimes I had to change anther vocabulary instead of  the first one, because I cann't pronunciation the first one,
Housefather was very smart, he was able to understand my means.
So, when we speak English ,we maybe don't care using this word or that.
Because our English lever is not enough.

ROOM isn't built in one day.
