Would you please help me to correct my writing? Thanks. :）
When you try to talk to someone about something what he has no acquaintance with or he's not interested in at all, then in Chinese, you are 对牛弹琴。
The literal meaning of ”对牛弹琴” is "a man play some music for the a cow". It is like “cast pearls before swine” or “talk to a brick wall”.
