Perhaps we van make it later.那么，也许改天吧。That would be better.好啊。

第二篇：英语俗语

英语格言和俗语怎么用

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）。这些玩意儿，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***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）方式去做。所以有人也改口说： When in America, do as the Americans do.就是「入国问禁，入乡随俗。」

9.What is done cannot be undone.意思是：做过的事，不能再还原。（动词时态：undo, undid, undone）。这与另一句谚语 「Don’t cry over spilt milk.」或「It is no use crying over spilt milk.」意义相似。也就是说：What is done is done或What has taken place, nothing can be done about it.（take place=happen）就是「覆水难收」、「往者已矣」。

10.Don’t（或Never）cross a bridge till（或until）you come to it.照字面的意义是：不等到桥边，就不必过桥。也有人说：We have to go across the bridge when we come to it.（it 指桥；bridge也指问题或困难），换句话说：不必为将来顾虑太多「Don’t worry too much in advance.」劝人当问题出现时再设法解决不迟。「You have to face the problem or difficulty when the time comes.」这与所谓「船到桥头自然直」，颇有相似之处。

All good things must come to an end.意思是说：一切好事，总会结束的。也就像咱们所谓「天下没有不散的宴席」或「好景无常」。换句话说：人生的道路是崎岖不平的（Life is bumpy.）或（Road bumps in our life.）但也不必悲观，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：美貌只是一层皮或外表的美是肤浅、短暂的。「Beauty is just as deep as skin.」这与其他两句格言:「Don’t judge a book by its cover.」（评价一本书不是只看书的包装）「Appearances are deceiving.」（外表是骗人的）意义相近，所以唯有内在的品格才是永久的重要的，（Personality Counts），不可以貌取人，否则就成为所谓的「绣花枕头」了。

13.What goes around comes around.意思是：你的所做所为，也会得到报应的。「What comes out of you will return to you.」这句话有些迷信(superstition)，像「十年河东，十年河西，风水轮著转」。不过老外所指的「因果报应」，多半是指「恶报」。(注意：不是What comes around goes around.）

14.Money talks.这句话「钱会说话」或「金钱最有发言权」。也有人後面22.Champagne tastes on a beer budget.意思是说：只有喝啤酒的预算，却有喝香槟酒的爱好。也就是指一些人花钱超出自己的能力。(Some people spend more money than they can afford.)或Some people live beyond their means.这不就是「打肿脸充胖子」吗？

23.It never rains, but it pours.照字面意思：不是微微细雨，而是大雨倾盆。也就是说：坏事接二连三的降临(The bad thing come in succession.)这与咱们所谓的「祸不单行」或「屋漏偏逢连夜雨，船破又逢对头风」意思相似。

24.One picture is worth a thousand words.意思是：一张画（或照片）胜过一千字的描写。如同中国人所说的「百闻不如一见」。(Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.)（注意：Words are worth a thousands pictures.，又是指一篇文章描写得十分生动）

25.A slip of tongue cannot be recalled.意思是：（不小心）说漏了嘴，是收不回来的。或者说：One word once let go can not be recalled.这都是劝人说话要谨慎负责。即「一言既出，驷马难追」。

26.You cannot make filet mignon out of chopped liver.意思是：你不能从品质差的肉，制造品质高的肉。filet mignon 是法国小牛排，是 high quality of meat ,而 chopped liver 是指品质差的肉，这里的 liver 未必是动物的肝脏，说白些，就是：Something with good quality can not be made with cheap material.这与咱们所说的「朽木不可雕也」，颇有相似。27.a chip off（或 of）the old block.照字面说：木头中的一个碎片。这与另外两句谚语相似：「Like father, like son.」（相貌性格等酷似父亲的儿子）「As the old cock crows, so crow the young.」（老公鸡在叫，小公鸡也跟著叫）（动词时态：crow, crowed（或crew）, crowed）因为孩子多半是模仿父母的（Children generally imitate their parents.）（多半指男性）这就是咱们所谓的「有其父必有其子」。

28.Make hay while the sun shines.意思是：晒草要趁阳光好。这与另一句「seize the day」（把握今朝）= carpe diem 是拉丁文，意义相近。就是「行事要趁机会好」（make the most of an opportunity）。

29.Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.就是所谓「愚者仓促，智者小心」的意思，劝人不可轻举妄动。（Don’t jump without thinking.）30.Judge not lest you be judged.这句话是劝人不可批评别人。(Don’t criticize others.）因为你如果批评别人，那么别人也会批评你。（If you criticize others, you’ll expect others to criticize you！）

11.加上一句：It（money）talks all languages.（它会说多种语言），也就是说：money is power.或是说：Money makes the man.If you have money, even a fool is a master.（金钱改变一个人，假如你有钱，即使是傻瓜，也会变成主人。）这些谚语，与咱们所说的「金钱万能」、「钱可通神」或「有钱能使鬼推磨」的古老观念，意义相近。(现代许多人倒认为「钱不是一切」）「money is not everything.」

15.Nice guys finish last.意思是：好人吃亏。(guy=person）这与另一句谚语相似：Nice（honest）people get short end of stick.（get short end of stick=not treated fairly）;也有老外说：(You）never give a sucker an even break.（你从不给老实人公平待遇）（even break=fair dial；sucker是指老实或易受骗的人），就是「好人受欺」。

16.A small spark makes a great fire.这与另一句警语：「It takes one small spark to start a forest fire.」意义相同。也就是我们所说的「星星之火，可以燎原」。其实也可以说是：A trifle may, often cause great disaster.（小事也会引起大灾难）。

17.Out of sight, out of mind！意思是：看不见，心就不会想（烦恼）。也就是咱们所谓「眼不见为净」。也有人说是：「Long absent, soon forgotten」或「Seldom seen, soon forgotten.」「见得少，忘得快」或是「时间会冲淡感情」。说白些，就是：If you don’t see it, you just forget about it.18.Treat others as you want to be treated.意思是说：你想别人怎样对待你，你就要怎样对待别人。或者说：Treat others as you want others to treat you，也可以说：Do unto others as you would have others（them）do unto you.（unto 是古体的介系词=to）这与咱们所说的「己所不欲，勿施於人」意思相似。

19.There is no place like home.意思是：没有一个地方像自己的家那么好。还有其他说法：East, West, home is best或Home, sweet home！或是No place is as desirable as home.这就像中国人所说的「金窝银窝，不如自己的狗窝。」（home是指经过装饰过而有人住的温暖的家，而house可能只是空空没人住过的房子）

20.Actions speak louder than words.照字面意思是：行动比言语更响亮（有效）。换句话说：采取行动要比高谈阔论好（It is better to take action than just to talk about it.）即「事实胜於雄辩」。

21.The pot calls（或calling）the kettle black.意思是：锅嫌水壶黑。此外，还有类似的谚语：All cats are（或look）black（或gray）in the dark.或者We are in the same boat.也就是说：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「乌鸦笑猪黑」。

Superstar and I It’s common that many students are crazy about those singers and actors.However, liyundi, a pianist, is the superstar in my heart.He is a man of few words and he even looks like the greatest pianist—Chopin.When listening to his music , I can get rid of everything noisy around.What’s more, I can feel his strong love for music.Rome wasn’t built in one day.He achieved the great success through huge effort.I can learn from him that we should never give up to realize our dreams.Superstar and I Her name first appeared as a joke then like a wonder.She is Susan Boyle, the superstar in my heart.Although she’s not beautiful, her voice and spirit moved all the audience, including me.The song ’I dreamed a dream’ that she sang touched everyone’s heart who had a dream and wanted to realize it.She taught me how to go on my dreams as well as never to give up.She is like a sunshine that gives me hope.Where there is a will, there is a way.初中被动语态练习题

有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力，比如学“wish”一词时，可写一小段如下：

The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different.I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.口语是需要技巧的。光靠大胆自信还不够。关键是系统的方法。我是英语专业毕业的，英语八级，现在当翻译，在大学时去英语角，上课发言等都不管用，一度非常苦恼。后来发现口语练习需要系统的方法。建议你按照我的方法做。

买个口语软件，口语宝或者右脑王都不错。

1语音阶段，照软件的内容练，一天俩小时，最多一个月，语音可以过关。无论你的基础怎么样。切记一定要仔细认真模仿纠正模仿在模仿。

2篇章阶段，根据软件上的资料，句子，语音，语调，断句，停顿，高低，节奏，长短等等，越细越好，模仿，对比，模仿，纠正，再模仿。不求量只求质。同样一个月，明显可以提高。3电影阶段，看英语电影。每句话听五遍以上，看看能听懂几个单词。在看汉语五遍，看看能听懂几个词组，再看英语五遍以上。然后倒过来从英语字幕到汉语字幕到无字幕，五遍以上。冰河世纪这部影片够你看两个月，五分钟的影片可以看两小时以上。4与人交流。现在开始舍弃软件，自信大胆的与中国人，别管对错，把自己想说的说出来。与老外更好。记住耐心模仿，细心比较，持之以恒，反反复复，1,2个月以后你的口语一定很棒。

你是外企的白领要经常的说英语哦，这个很正常的哦，如果你要学英语口语的话，那么对如何学习英语口语我有一些经验了。我建议你可以跟我一样报个电话英语培训啊。现在的电话英语还很很好了，电话英语，只通过声音传递内容上课，所以要求学生要有更高的注意力，因此对提高听力有很大的帮助，同时在听他人说话的同时，自己也要开口说话，这种学习方式被认为是锻炼听力和口语的最佳方法，还有，电话英语最大的优势就是将上课内容全程录音可以供课后复习。而且时间安排可以在你的工作空余时间来学习英语口语哦，如何学习英语口语的必备条件—语言环境。口语是交流、是听和说。学习任何一种语言，首先要听懂，然后才学说话。口语不可以自学。学习英语口语必须进入英文语言环境。每天听的都是英文，也必须讲英文。中国学生为什么不会讲英文？因为中国的英文老师大部分不讲英文，用中文上英文课。学生在英文课上不讲英文，大部分还是讲中文。1 如何学好英语口语--学习英文口语最好是英文母语老师—即外教。英文为母语的老师，从小生活在英文的环境里。知道各种生活场景、生活内容的英文用语，并且他们的发音纯正，只有他们才可以教好口语。就像外国人要学中文，一定要请中国的老师。所有这里我向你推荐恩京电话英语培训学校，真是不错的，外教通过电话一对一教授日常口语，商务口语，雅思口语.面试英语，外贸口语,青少年英语等，每天回到家，晚上可以学10-20分钟，而且时间，外教都可以任选，均有指定教材，外教都是很有经验的老师，报名后每位学员在网站上都有专属学习地盘，每晚上课时外教会就你的问题当时提出纠正，上课后会在学员的学习地盘中留下当晚学习的详细评语和学员的进步情况分析，及第二天晚上上课讨论的建议。最重要的是，网站上有学员每晚学习的录音，学员可下载收听对照自己的学习；费用也特别实惠，我一个普通打工族就可以接受。随时随地和外教说英语，不错！2 学习英文还必须了解英文为主的西方文化。学习口语必须知道在什么场合，说什么话？怎么样说话是有礼貌的？什么是外国人忌讳的？就如同中文，从小父母就会教我们在什么场合要说你好、对不起。看见老人、叔叔、阿姨应当怎样称呼？在客人面前该问什么问题？不该说什么话？等等。因为我们的言语得体可以给别人留下良好的印象，不至于造成误会。3 学习口语必须大量地听说练习。我们从小中文是怎么学会的？是每天起床后就不断地听不断地说。每天至少12个小时在中文听说语言环境里。其他语言的学习也是同样的道理。不断地听，不断地说，随时纠正。学生只要在与外国人或学生之间讲英文，就是在学习。

我有啊，奉献给你一些啦，快快学习吧：

Do you have some time tomorrow? 明天有空吧? Yes, I do.有啊。

How about having lunch with me? 一起吃顿中饭怎样？ Good idea.好主意。

If you're free, how about lunch? 有空的话一起吃顿中饭如何？ When did you have in mind? 你想什么时候呢？ I was thinking about Thursday? 我看星期四怎样？ That will be fine with me.没问题。

I'm calling to see if you would like to have lunch tomorrow.我打电话给你，是想知道明天一起吃顿中饭怎样？ I'm sorry, but this week isn't very convenient for me.对不起，这个星期我都不方便。Perhaps we van make it later.那么，也许改天吧。That would be better.好啊。

I'm calling to confirm our luncheon appointment.我打电话来，是想确定一下我们约好吃饭的事。

It's tomorrow at twelve o'clock, right? 是明天12点吧？ Yes, that's right.是的，没错。I'll be there.我会去的。

I'm sorry, but I have to cancel out luncheon appointment.真抱歉，不过我不得不取消我们午餐的约会。I'm sorry to hear that.真遗憾。

I have pressing business to attend to.我有紧急的事情要处理。

No problem.we'll make it later in the month.没关系，这个月改天再说吧。

一、多“说”。

自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。

或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。

如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
