意味
Hard work is necessary for success.
文化的背景
Fishing is a national obsession in Russia, spanning all social classes. The proverb uses this common activity to make a moral point about life. The proverb was frequently used in Soviet schools to instill a socialist work ethic in children, emphasizing that the collective 'fish' required everyone's 'labor'. In the fast-paced world of Moscow tech or business, this proverb is often used to justify long hours and the 'hustle' culture. Many 19th-century writers used this proverb to characterize the 'simple wisdom' of the Russian peasantry.
