English：
A metaphor for people who judge things based on partial understanding, drawing one-sided conclusions without knowing the whole picture.
中文：
比喻对事物只凭片面的了解或局部的经验，就乱加猜测，做出片面的判断。
Origin English: This idiom comes from the ancient Buddhist text "Udana". It tells a story of several blind men touching different parts of an elephant and each thinking the elephant is like the part they touched. It was later introduced to China and became a classic Chinese idiom.
Origin Chinese: 该成语源自古代佛教典籍《优陀那》，讲述了几个盲人分别触摸大象的不同部位，都认为大象的样子就是自己摸到的部分；后传入中国，成为经典汉语成语。
