英文经典谚语（俗语）30例详解 老外平时除使用许多俚语（slang）外，也常夹些格言（adage）、俗语（proverb）、引语（quotation）、警句（saying）或是众所周知的道理（truism）。这些玩儿，也与中文里不少的格言或俗语等意义相近。使用起来，颇有「异曲同工」之妙。 1.Like attracts（或draws）like. 意思是：相同的人吸引相同的人。(like 指similar people）这与另一句谬语「Birds of a feather flock together.」（相同羽毛的鸟在一起）意义相似。（a=same）也就是咱们常说的「物以类聚」或「同声相应，同气相求」。 2.(Too much) familiarity breeds contempt. 意思是说：相处过於亲密，就会产生侮慢之心（不尊重）（即low opinion）（breed = create）这句话又与另一句俗语「Too thick does not stick.」（太稠或太浓反而黏不住）意思相近。也就是说：「closeness brings disagreement.」（亲不敬，熟生蔑）; 就是劝人：「君子之交淡如水」或「保持距离，以策安全」。 3.Once bitten（或bit），twice shy. 就是说：一次被咬，下次胆小。或是一次上当，下次小心。（shy = avoid）动词时态：bite, bit, bitten（或bit）这又与另一句俗语「A burnt child fears（或dreads）the fire.」（被灼伤的小孩怕火）相似。说白些，就是：When you have bad experience, you don't want to have the same experience again. 这不就是「一朝被蛇咬，见绳也心惊」或「一日被蛇咬，十年怕草绳」吗？ 4.A stitch in time save nine. 意思是：「一针及时省九针」。也是「一针不补，十针难缝」或「小洞不补，大洞叫苦」的味道。这句警语与「An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.」（一分的预防，胜於十分的治疗）意义相近。此外，还有：「Don't wait for a rainy day to fix the roof.（不要等到下雨时才去修补屋顶）; 或「Always prepare for a rainy day.」或「Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.」（做最坏的打算和最好的希望）这些警语，说的都是「未雨绸缪」。 5.Old habits die hard. 意思是说：改掉老习惯很不容易。「It is difficult to break an old habit.」这与另一句谚语：「You can not teach an old dog new tricks.」（你不能教老狗新把戏）。这就是所谓「江山易改，本性难移」。 6.Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 意思是：一个人不在时，使人内心更想念。 「When a person is absent, we may think of him／her more often.」与「久别情深」、「眼不见，心更念」、「人去情渐深」，或是「一日不见如隔三秋」的意味相近。 7.A penny saved is a penny earned. 据说这是Ben Franklin 的引语。照字面意义是：能存一分钱，就是赚了一分钱。後来有人改口说：Take care of your pennies（=pence）and the pounds (=dollars）will take care of themselves. 说白些，就是：If you save small amount of money, you will eventually have a large sum of money. 就是中国人所谓「积少成多，集腋成裘」。（这句话也可指小事谨慎，大事自成。） 8.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.意思是说：当在罗马时，就照罗马人的（生活）方式去
经典英文谚语大全带翻译 英文谚语大全带翻译第一部分 1、A little of everything, and nothing at all. 样样皆通，样样稀松。 2、A picture is a poem without words. 画为无言诗。 3、A word spoken cannot be recalled. 谚语是一个民族生产、生活智慧的沉淀与结晶,是一个民族语言与文化的精华。以下是由为大家推荐的英文谚语大全，欢迎大家学习参考。 一言说出，难以收回。 4、An apple a day keeps the doctor away. 一天一个苹果，医生不来找我。 5、A man is never too old to learn. 活到老，学到老。 6、A little labour, much health. 常常走动，无病无痛。 7、A bad custom is like a good cake, better broken than kept. 蛋糕莫保留，坏习气要除掉。 8、A life without a friend is a life without a sun. 她太喜爱这个娃娃了，所以对它观察得很细致。她是按这样的顺序来观察并描写的：蓝天→星星→月亮→小男孩和小女孩→可爱的小花猫。写一个静物比较容易，要把静物写得生动而又具体就不那么容易了。周智莹小朋友恰恰做到了这一点：她不仅写了这个静物各部分的颜色、大孝样子，还写出了小男孩和小女孩的服饰和姿态，最后还写出了自己的联想，字里行间流露出对爸爸送给自己的这份礼物的喜爱之情。 人生没有朋友，犹如生活没有阳光。
