近水知鱼性,近山识鸟音。 -《增广贤文》English translation

近水知鱼性,近山识鸟音。

People near mountains

Can distinguish between bird calls,

People near waters

Know about the habits of fish.

(胡晓阳 译)

If you live close to the water, you will know the character of the fishes well. If you live by a wooded mountain, you will know the different songs of the birds.

(郭著章 译)
