第二篇：英語(yǔ)俗語(yǔ)

英語(yǔ)格言和俗語(yǔ)怎么用

老外平時(shí)除使用許多俚語(yǔ)（slang）外，也常夾些格言（adage）、俗語(yǔ)（proverb）、引語(yǔ)（quotation）、警句（saying）或是眾所周知的道理（truism）。這些玩意兒，也與中文里不少的格言或俗語(yǔ)等意義相近。使用起來(lái)，頗有「異曲同工」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）這與另一句謬語(yǔ) 「Birds of a feather flock together.」（相同羽毛的鳥(niǎo)在一起）意義相似。（a = same）也就是咱們常說(shuō)的「物以類(lèi)聚」或「同聲相應(yīng)，同氣相求」。

2.(Too much)familiarity breeds contempt.意思是說(shuō)：相處過(guò)於親密，就會(huì)產(chǎn)生侮慢之心（不尊重）（即 low opinion）（breed = create）這句話又與另一句俗語(yǔ)「Too thick does not stick.」（太稠或太濃反而黏不住）意思相近。也就是說(shuō)： 「closeness brings disagreement.」（親不敬，熟生蔑）;就是勸人：「君子之交淡如水」或「保持距離，以策安全」。3.Once bitten（或 bit），twice shy.就是說(shuō)：一次被咬，下次膽小。或是一次上當(dāng)，下次小心。（shy = avoid）動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)：bite, bit, bitten（或 bit）這又與另一句俗語(yǔ)「A burnt child fears（或dreads）the fire.」（被灼傷的小孩怕火）相似。說(shuō)白些，就是： When you have bad experience, you don’t want to have the same experience again.這不就是「一朝被蛇咬，見(jiàn)繩也心驚」或「一日被蛇咬，十年怕草繩」嗎？

4.A stitch in time save nine.意思是：「一針及時(shí)省九針」。也是「一針不補(bǔ)，十針難縫」或「小洞不補(bǔ)，大洞叫苦」的味道。這句警語(yǔ)與「An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.」（一分的預(yù)防，勝於十分的治療）意義相近。此外，還有：「Don’t wait for a rainy day to fix the roof.（不要等到下雨時(shí)才去修補(bǔ)屋頂）;或「Always prepare for a rainy day.」或「Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.」（做最壞的打算和最好的希望）這些警語(yǔ)，說(shuō)的都是「未雨綢繆」。

5.Old habits die hard.意思是說(shuō)：改掉***慣很不容易。「It is difficult to break an old habit.」這與另一句諺語(yǔ)：「You can not teach an old dog new tricks.」（你不能教老狗新把戲）。這就是所謂「江山易改，本性難移」。

6.Absence makes the heart grow fonder.意思是：一個(gè)人不在時(shí)，使人內(nèi)心更想念。「When a person is absent, we may think of him／her more often.」與「久別情深」、「眼不見(jiàn)，心更念」、「人去情漸深」，或是「一日不見(jiàn)如隔三秋」的意味相近。

7.A penny saved is a penny earned.據(jù)說(shuō)這是Ben Franklin 的引語(yǔ)。照字面意義是：能存一分錢(qián)，就是賺了一分錢(qián)。後來(lái)有人改口說(shuō)： Take care of your pennies（=pence）and the pounds(=dollars）will take care of themselves.說(shuō)白些，就是： If you save small amount of money, you will eventually have a large sum of money.就是中國(guó)人所謂「積少成多，集腋成裘」。（這句話也可指小事謹(jǐn)慎，大事自成。）

8.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.意思是說(shuō)：當(dāng)在羅馬時(shí)，就照羅馬人的（生活）方式去做。所以有人也改口說(shuō)： When in America, do as the Americans do.就是「入國(guó)問(wèn)禁，入鄉(xiāng)隨俗。」

9.What is done cannot be undone.意思是：做過(guò)的事，不能再還原。（動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)：undo, undid, undone）。這與另一句諺語(yǔ) 「Don’t cry over spilt milk.」或「It is no use crying over spilt milk.」意義相似。也就是說(shuō)：What is done is done或What has taken place, nothing can be done about it.（take place=happen）就是「覆水難收」、「往者已矣」。

10.Don’t（或Never）cross a bridge till（或until）you come to it.照字面的意義是：不等到橋邊，就不必過(guò)橋。也有人說(shuō)：We have to go across the bridge when we come to it.（it 指橋；bridge也指問(wèn)題或困難），換句話說(shuō)：不必為將來(lái)顧慮太多「Don’t worry too much in advance.」勸人當(dāng)問(wèn)題出現(xiàn)時(shí)再設(shè)法解決不遲。「You have to face the problem or difficulty when the time comes.」這與所謂「船到橋頭自然直」，頗有相似之處。

All good things must come to an end.意思是說(shuō)：一切好事，總會(huì)結(jié)束的。也就像咱們所謂「天下沒(méi)有不散的宴席」或「好景無(wú)常」。換句話說(shuō)：人生的道路是崎嶇不平的（Life is bumpy.）或（Road bumps in our life.）但也不必悲觀，生命也有光明的一面（There is light at the end of the tunnel.）12.Beauty is but(=only)skin-deep.意思是：美貌只是一層皮或外表的美是膚淺、短暫的。「Beauty is just as deep as skin.」這與其他兩句格言:「Don’t judge a book by its cover.」（評(píng)價(jià)一本書(shū)不是只看書(shū)的包裝）「Appearances are deceiving.」（外表是騙人的）意義相近，所以唯有內(nèi)在的品格才是永久的重要的，（Personality Counts），不可以貌取人，否則就成為所謂的「繡花枕頭」了。

13.What goes around comes around.意思是：你的所做所為，也會(huì)得到報(bào)應(yīng)的。「What comes out of you will return to you.」這句話有些迷信(superstition)，像「十年河?xùn)|，十年河西，風(fēng)水輪著轉(zhuǎn)」。不過(guò)老外所指的「因果報(bào)應(yīng)」，多半是指「惡報(bào)」。(注意：不是What comes around goes around.）

14.Money talks.這句話「錢(qián)會(huì)說(shuō)話」或「金錢(qián)最有發(fā)言權(quán)」。也有人後面22.Champagne tastes on a beer budget.意思是說(shuō)：只有喝啤酒的預(yù)算，卻有喝香檳酒的愛(ài)好。也就是指一些人花錢(qián)超出自己的能力。(Some people spend more money than they can afford.)或Some people live beyond their means.這不就是「打腫臉充胖子」嗎？

23.It never rains, but it pours.照字面意思：不是微微細(xì)雨，而是大雨傾盆。也就是說(shuō)：壞事接二連三的降臨(The bad thing come in succession.)這與咱們所謂的「禍不單行」或「屋漏偏逢連夜雨，船破又逢對(duì)頭風(fēng)」意思相似。

24.One picture is worth a thousand words.意思是：一張畫(huà)（或照片）勝過(guò)一千字的描寫(xiě)。如同中國(guó)人所說(shuō)的「百聞不如一見(jiàn)」。(Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.)（注意：Words are worth a thousands pictures.，又是指一篇文章描寫(xiě)得十分生動(dòng)）

25.A slip of tongue cannot be recalled.意思是：（不小心）說(shuō)漏了嘴，是收不回來(lái)的。或者說(shuō)：One word once let go can not be recalled.這都是勸人說(shuō)話要謹(jǐn)慎負(fù)責(zé)。即「一言既出，駟馬難追」。

26.You cannot make filet mignon out of chopped liver.意思是：你不能從品質(zhì)差的肉，制造品質(zhì)高的肉。filet mignon 是法國(guó)小牛排，是 high quality of meat ,而 chopped liver 是指品質(zhì)差的肉，這里的 liver 未必是動(dòng)物的肝臟，說(shuō)白些，就是：Something with good quality can not be made with cheap material.這與咱們所說(shuō)的「朽木不可雕也」，頗有相似。27.a chip off（或 of）the old block.照字面說(shuō)：木頭中的一個(gè)碎片。這與另外兩句諺語(yǔ)相似：「Like father, like son.」（相貌性格等酷似父親的兒子）「As the old cock crows, so crow the young.」（老公雞在叫，小公雞也跟著叫）（動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)：crow, crowed（或crew）, crowed）因?yàn)楹⒆佣喟胧悄７赂改傅模–hildren generally imitate their parents.）（多半指男性）這就是咱們所謂的「有其父必有其子」。

28.Make hay while the sun shines.意思是：曬草要趁陽(yáng)光好。這與另一句「seize the day」（把握今朝）= carpe diem 是拉丁文，意義相近。就是「行事要趁機(jī)會(huì)好」（make the most of an opportunity）。

29.Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.就是所謂「愚者倉(cāng)促，智者小心」的意思，勸人不可輕舉妄動(dòng)。（Don’t jump without thinking.）30.Judge not lest you be judged.這句話是勸人不可批評(píng)別人。(Don’t criticize others.）因?yàn)槟闳绻u(píng)別人，那么別人也會(huì)批評(píng)你。（If you criticize others, you’ll expect others to criticize you！）

11.加上一句：It（money）talks all languages.（它會(huì)說(shuō)多種語(yǔ)言），也就是說(shuō)：money is power.或是說(shuō)：Money makes the man.If you have money, even a fool is a master.（金錢(qián)改變一個(gè)人，假如你有錢(qián)，即使是傻瓜，也會(huì)變成主人。）這些諺語(yǔ)，與咱們所說(shuō)的「金錢(qián)萬(wàn)能」、「錢(qián)可通神」或「有錢(qián)能使鬼推磨」的古老觀念，意義相近。(現(xiàn)代許多人倒認(rèn)為「錢(qián)不是一切」）「money is not everything.」

15.Nice guys finish last.意思是：好人吃虧。(guy=person）這與另一句諺語(yǔ)相似：Nice（honest）people get short end of stick.（get short end of stick=not treated fairly）;也有老外說(shuō)：(You）never give a sucker an even break.（你從不給老實(shí)人公平待遇）（even break=fair dial；sucker是指老實(shí)或易受騙的人），就是「好人受欺」。

16.A small spark makes a great fire.這與另一句警語(yǔ)：「It takes one small spark to start a forest fire.」意義相同。也就是我們所說(shuō)的「星星之火，可以燎原」。其實(shí)也可以說(shuō)是：A trifle may, often cause great disaster.（小事也會(huì)引起大災(zāi)難）。

17.Out of sight, out of mind！意思是：看不見(jiàn)，心就不會(huì)想（煩惱）。也就是咱們所謂「眼不見(jiàn)為凈」。也有人說(shuō)是：「Long absent, soon forgotten」或「Seldom seen, soon forgotten.」「見(jiàn)得少，忘得快」或是「時(shí)間會(huì)沖淡感情」。說(shuō)白些，就是：If you don’t see it, you just forget about it.18.Treat others as you want to be treated.意思是說(shuō)：你想別人怎樣對(duì)待你，你就要怎樣對(duì)待別人。或者說(shuō)：Treat others as you want others to treat you，也可以說(shuō)：Do unto others as you would have others（them）do unto you.（unto 是古體的介系詞=to）這與咱們所說(shuō)的「己所不欲，勿施於人」意思相似。

19.There is no place like home.意思是：沒(méi)有一個(gè)地方像自己的家那么好。還有其他說(shuō)法：East, West, home is best或Home, sweet home！或是No place is as desirable as home.這就像中國(guó)人所說(shuō)的「金窩銀窩，不如自己的狗窩。」（home是指經(jīng)過(guò)裝飾過(guò)而有人住的溫暖的家，而house可能只是空空沒(méi)人住過(guò)的房子）

20.Actions speak louder than words.照字面意思是：行動(dòng)比言語(yǔ)更響亮（有效）。換句話說(shuō)：采取行動(dòng)要比高談闊論好（It is better to take action than just to talk about it.）即「事實(shí)勝於雄辯」。

21.The pot calls（或calling）the kettle black.意思是：鍋嫌水壺黑。此外，還有類(lèi)似的諺語(yǔ)：All cats are（或look）black（或gray）in the dark.或者We are in the same boat.也就是說(shuō)：大家彼此彼此（We are all equal或We are in the same situation。就像「五十步笑百步」或「烏鴉笑豬黑」。

第三篇：英語(yǔ)中有趣的人名俗語(yǔ)

英語(yǔ)中有趣的人名俗語(yǔ) 1.a cup of Joe 一杯咖啡.A cup of Joe也就是a cup of coffee。這個(gè)說(shuō)法是從紐約一家公司Martinson's Coffee的Joe Martinson的名字得來(lái)的，據(jù)說(shuō)當(dāng)時(shí)臨近街區(qū)都彌漫著咖啡的芳香，所以人們都稱(chēng)咖啡為 a cup of Joe。Martinson's Coffee在美國(guó)歷史悠久，它的追隨者25%都是紐約人。

2.average Joe平常人，普通人.An average Joe refers to someone who is just like everyone else;a normal person.'Average' means 'in the middle' or 'not extreme', and 'Joe' is a common male name.So 'average Joe' refers to a man who is not extremely different from everyone else.Average意思是“平均的，一般水平的”，而Joe又是一個(gè)極其常見(jiàn)的名字，所以人們就用average Joe來(lái)表示很普通的一個(gè)人。例如我們會(huì)說(shuō)，雷·羅馬諾是這個(gè)時(shí)代全美最受歡迎的電視明星之一，可他卻似乎不把自己當(dāng)成什么大人物，仿佛就是與你生活在同一座城市里的 “average Joe”。

3.a plain Jane 長(zhǎng)相不起眼，外貌平凡的女人.這里的plain是“不惹人注目的，樸素的”，而Jane是一般女人名，plain與Jane合轍押韻。如：I wonder why a handsome man like Jeff married such a plain Jane.我很奇怪像杰夫這樣出色的男子怎么與一個(gè)不怎么起眼的姑娘結(jié)婚。not know a person from Adam不知(某人)模樣如何，與(某人)素不相識(shí).源自《圣經(jīng)·舊約·士師記》第2、3章。上帝創(chuàng)造了世界上的第一個(gè)男人，取名為亞當(dāng)(Adam)。因?yàn)閬啴?dāng)非女人所生，所以沒(méi)有肚臍，是最容易辨認(rèn)的人，“not know somebody from Adam”就表示“完全不認(rèn)識(shí)某人”。

Mrs.Smith is a friend of mine, but I don’t know her husband from Adam.史密斯太太是我的朋友，但我完全不認(rèn)識(shí)她丈夫。

5.Jack of all trades萬(wàn)事通.一般指雜而不精，也就是我們平時(shí)所說(shuō)的“三腳貓”。Jack of all trades and master of none.門(mén)門(mén)精通，樣樣稀松。6 Uncle Sam美國(guó).它源自1812-1814年間美英戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期的一個(gè)歷史傳說(shuō)。相傳在紐約州的特洛伊城(Troy))有位年長(zhǎng)的肉類(lèi)加工商，名叫山繆爾?威爾遜(Samuel Wilson)。他勤勞、誠(chéng)實(shí)、能干，很有威信，人們親切地叫他山姆大叔(Uncle Sam)。他也是一位愛(ài)國(guó)者，與父兄曾參加過(guò)美國(guó)獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。在1812年的美英戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中，他的工廠與政府簽了一份為軍隊(duì)生產(chǎn)桶裝牛肉的合同，美國(guó)政府每當(dāng)收到他交來(lái)的經(jīng)其親自檢驗(yàn)合格的牛肉，就將肉裝入特制的木桶，并在桶上蓋上US的記號(hào)。由于Uncle Sam的首字母是US，而美國(guó)(The United States)的縮寫(xiě)也是U.S.，于是人們便把這兩個(gè)名稱(chēng)合二為一了。當(dāng)?shù)氐娜藗兙桶选吧侥反笫濉碑?dāng)成美國(guó)的綽號(hào)，并逐漸流傳開(kāi)來(lái)。.not know Jack about對(duì)某事一無(wú)所知.如： I don't know Jack about fishing意思就是 I don't know anything about fishing(我對(duì)釣魚(yú)一無(wú)所知)。而I don’t know Jack的意思就是“我什么也不知道”。關(guān)于Jack，還有兩個(gè)常見(jiàn)的句子。Do you know Jack shit? 意思就是問(wèn)別人, “你知不知道什么叫無(wú)知? 在美國(guó)的口語(yǔ)中，Jack shit 算是一句粗話，意思是什么也沒(méi)有。

8.For Pete’s sake感嘆詞，用以強(qiáng)烈表達(dá)情緒，意為“哎呀，天哪”.有些地方也譯作“看在上帝面上；千萬(wàn)；務(wù)必” 等。在這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中，Pete是耶酥大弟子St.Peter的昵稱(chēng)。常在懇求或請(qǐng)求他人時(shí)使用。如：For Pete's sake，stop making so much noise.(哎呀，天哪！別弄出那么討厭的聲音啦!)此外，它還應(yīng)用于其他種種不同的場(chǎng)合。假設(shè)你向別人道了歉，他還沒(méi)完沒(méi)了，這時(shí)你可以說(shuō)：I said I was sorry.What else do you want me to do, for Pete's sake?(我已經(jīng)說(shuō)對(duì)不起了，拜托，你還想叫我怎樣啊?)9.a doubting Thomas生性多疑的人.源自《圣經(jīng)·新約·約翰福音》第20章。該篇講到耶穌復(fù)活后出現(xiàn)在眾人面前，十二門(mén)徒之一托馬斯沒(méi)有親眼見(jiàn)到，聲稱(chēng)除非看到他手上的釘痕，用手探入他的肋旁，否則不信他已復(fù)活。后來(lái)人們用“doubting Thomas”指那些不肯輕易相信別人的人。10.John Hancock親筆簽名.John Hancock是在 The Declaration of Independence(美國(guó)獨(dú)立宣言)上署名的獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)士中,將自己的名字簽得又好又大的一個(gè)人，他的簽名美觀大方而且個(gè)頭也比別的簽名大。所以美國(guó)人常把John Hancock當(dāng)作signature(署名,簽名)的意思.。如：I need your John Hancock.我需要您的簽名。
