   10条“出口率”极高的英语俗语


  1. It's all my eye!
  [字面意思] 都是的我的眼睛。
  [解释] 表示不同意或惊讶。大意相当于:我根本不相信;他说的都是骗人的鬼话;胡说八道。也可以说:That's all my eye. 如果你听到了某人说的假话,你就可以说It's all my eye!劝别人也不要相信。
  2. It's my word against his/hers.
  [字面意思] 我的话对他/她的话。
  [解释] 我跟他发生争执,我俩各执一词,没有人可以证明谁对谁不对,公说公有理,婆说婆有理。你该相信谁的话,真是个难题。There were no witnesses 1 to the accident, so it's my word against hers. 这是说不清的事情。
  3. A watched pot never boils.
  [字面意思] 眼睛盯着看的壶永远不会开。
  [解释] 事情在进行中,不到时候就不会有结果,要水到渠成才行。心急锅不开。你着急?着急也没用!用眼睛盯着它看也无济于事,事情不会因为你着急就会有较快的进展。
  4. A word to the wise.
  [字面意思] 送给智者的一句话。
  [解释] 给明智而愿意接受别人意见或建议的人提出忠告。我知道你能听进去话,所以我才跟你这么说。我说的是正确的,对你有好处,而且我知道你也会听取我的意见。
  5. All is well that ends well.
  [字面意思] 结尾好就意味着一切都好。
  [解释] 结局好,一切都好。出自莎士比亚剧本名。在开始或中间环节出现的一些小的差错或麻烦无关紧要,没什么大不了的,只要最终的结局令人满意,那就是好的。
  6. Bad news travels fast.
  [字面意思] 坏消息传得快。
  [解释] 好事不出门,坏事传千里。
  7. Beauty is only skin deep.
  [字面意思] 美貌只是肤浅的。
  [解释] 美貌只是表面现象而已。以貌取人靠不住。你不能只看到她有漂亮的面孔就向她求爱,你还应该考虑其它方面的因素。找结婚伴侣是要过日子,不是当海报招贴画来看的。我的忠告是两句话:Beauty is only skin-deep. True feelings are more important.
  8. Beggars 2 can't be choosers.
  [字面意思] 乞丐不可能有选择。
  [解释] 你得到的不完全是你想得到的,可能条件或质量等方面差一些,但没有再选择的余地,只能接受不十分满意的事物。这就叫Beggars can't be choosers.
  9. Better safe than sorry.
  [字面意思] 安全比遗憾好
  [解释] 最好不要去冒险。即使不冒险你得多费些功夫,多做些枯燥无味的工作,这都值得。总比为了省事而冒险强。变体:Better to be safe than sorry.
  10. Easy come, easy go.
  [字面意思] 来的容易,去的快。
  [解释] 这句话适合讲给那些把什么事都看得容易的人。尤其是对那种认为挣钱容易,不把钱当钱,对任何事情都不担心的人最适合。应该提醒这种人"钱不是长在树上的"。钱不是像树上的果实一样,今年吃光了明年还会自动长出来。有些人自己不挣钱,不知道挣钱的艰辛。

n.目击者( witness的名词复数 );证词;见证(以言行证实信仰);见证人v.作证( witness的第三人称单数 );表示;(摆证据)…就是证据;是…的迹象
  • The evidence was corroborated by two independent witnesses. 此证据由两名独立证人提供。
  • Police have appealed for witnesses to the accident. 警方呼吁这起事故的目击者出来作证。
乞丐( beggar的名词复数 ); 家伙
  • The rubbish left behind by the Cup Final crowd beggars description. 观看决赛的观众们丢下的垃圾实非笔墨所能描述。
  • To give money to beggars sometimes amounts to encouraging begging. 给乞丐钱,有时就等于鼓励行乞。
