9.实用的英语谚语

(1) You can not teach an old dog new tricks ── 照字面意思是：你不能教老狗学新的把戏。

也就是说：年老守旧的人，不易改变旧的作风，或接受新的事物和新思想。（Some people find it impossible to change their ways; or older people can not accept the changes or new ideas.） 虽然这句成语可以独立使用，但只要能维持原文的完整性，也可「动些手脚」。

例如： Stop trying to teach an old dog new tricks; you are just wasting time.（别想教老狗新花样，你只是白花时间。） Are you trying to teach an old dog new tricks? He is impossible. Don't try to teach an old dog new tricks.(impossible 是指顽固成性、墨守成规的人。

) I have tried teaching an old dog new tricks, but it doesn't work.（注：教狗不直接用 teach，要用 try to teach。） (2) All that glitters is not gold. ── 字面的意思是：所有能闪闪发光的东西，未必都是黄金。

换言之，就是许多外表漂亮的物品，未必都是真正的宝贝。因为也许是金玉其外，败絮其中，或是中看不中用。

（not every beautiful thing is valuable. 也有人说成：All is not gold that glitters. (glitter 是动词，意思是闪闪发光或光彩夺目。) 也可用在句子里： I told my students that all that glitters is not gold. 还有一句相似的成语： Don't judge a book by its cover. （意思是：不能以书皮的美丑，去判断书的内容好坏。）

（3） Pepole （或 Those） who live in glass houses should not throw stones （或 rocks） ── 照字面的意思是：住在玻璃屋里的人不可丢石头。也就是说，世间没有十全十美的人，每个人都有缺点，所以不要批评别人。

即所谓「自身有短，勿批他人」。（Nobody is perfect, so we should not criticize others.） 类似的，还有： Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. （除非你充分了解人家的立场，不可轻易作出评估。）

（judge = criticize; have walked a mile in his shoes = have understood his situation well enough） 另一句是： Judge not lest ye be judged. （来自圣经）（意思是：不要批评别人，免得将来也被别人批评。）（ye 是古字 = you;lest 是连接词，意思是唯恐或免得。）

就是： 所以我们也可以说： He told his children“Judge not lest ye be judged.” (4) It is more blessed to give than to receive. ── 意思是：施比受更有福。也就是劝人多多行善，帮助他人。

（blessed 是形容词，意思是幸福的，受尊敬的。）这句话不但可独立使用，也可用在不同的句子里： Especially during Christmas time, it's more blessed to give than to receive.（尤其在圣诞时更要助人） The longer I live the more I realize that it is more blessed to give than to receive.（我活得愈久，愈体会到施比受更有福。）

（5） Every cloud has a silver lining. ── 照字面的意思是，每一个阴云中，都有一点银白的衬层。换句话就是，每一个不好的情况，也有好的一面。

即所谓「黑暗中总有一线光明」。（Something good in every situation; or there is a positive side in everything.） (lining 是名词，意思是内衬或环衬。

)所以劝人不可悲观，就可以说： Don't be so grumpy and pessimistic because every cloud has a silver lining. （不要这麽暴躁和悲观，事情也有好的一面。） （6） A rolling stone gathers no moss. ── 这是一句老俗语，但还是很流行。

照字面的意思是，转动的石头，是长不出苔藓的。也就是说，常常在工作上变动的人，较难得到很好的资历，也难受到别人的信任。

即所谓「滚石不生苔，转业不聚财」。（One who is always on the move or changes jobs often will not save or keep much money.） 所以我们可以劝年轻人不可见异思迁，到时一事无成： Don't change your job too frequently because a rolling stone gathers no moss. (7) You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make him drink. ── 意思是说，带马到河边容易，但逼马饮水倒很困难。

换句话说，有好的建议，尽管可以提出，但不能逼人家做他不愿做的事。因为人家不肯照著你的意思做，还是没有办法啊！ （You can encourage, but not force, someone to do something; or you may give someone an advice, but you can't force him /her to follow it.） 例如： I can not force her to marry him. After all you can lead a horse to water, but you can not make him drink.（我不能逼她嫁给他。

毕竟带马到河边容易，逼马饮水倒困难。） （8） Don't put all your eggs in one basket. ── 照字面意思是：不要把全部鸡蛋放在一个篮子里。

也就是劝人不可把一切希望寄托在一个计画上，或集中全部的财力干一件事。（don't risk everything you have on a single plan or idea; don't forcus or invest too much in one specific area）（注：只用 basket，而不用 box 或 bag，也许因为从前农夫把鸡蛋拾起后，都放在篮子里。）

所以可以说： If you are spending all your money on that stock, you are putting all your eggs in one basket.（假如你把所有的钱投资在一种股票上，那就太冒险了。） I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.（我不想冒著孤注。
