Chinese to English translations [Non-PRO]
Chinese term or phrase: Tsou li maa
This is supposed to be the Romanization of an old Chinese phrase. I'm not sure about the spelling however since it's apparently not Pinyin.

English translation:Qian Li Ma (A thousand mile horse)
Explanation:
To me it sounds like Qian Li Ma. They used this term to call outstanding, ambitious individuals with some luck in hand to help them fulfill the ambitions. However, you should really look at the context first. What makes the task harder is that the romanization is not of any standard system currently in use (i.e Putonghua or Yale, etc.). Best of luck!
