The phrase 杯水车薪 (bēi shuǐ chē xīn) is used to describe a situation where an effort is insufficient to address a problem or challenge. It emphasizes the inadequacy of a small action in the face of a much larger issue, much like trying to extinguish a large fire with just a cup of water.
For example, you might say, 他的捐款跟灾害大小比起来只是杯水车薪 (His donation was insufficient compared to the scale of the disaster.) This illustrates that the contribution, while well-intentioned, was far too small to make a significant impact on the situation at hand.
