众所周知，谚语乃是一种语言的精华，寓意深刻，表达隽永。在中考写作中如能适当地引用一些谚语，可以为文章增辉添彩。一些同学在平时的学习中积累了一些谚语，但在写作时不知道该如何将它们恰当地引用到文章中去，本文拟根据近年来《纽约时报》引用谚语的情况，总结出英语中常见的引用谚语的地道表达法，供同学们写作时模仿使用。
谚语在英语中叫proverb，引用时经常会在其前面酌情加上old, Chinese, English, Russian之类的形容词;动词一般用go, say, state, has it, put it等，在这些动词后面用逗号或冒号皆可。谚语可加双引号(这时谚语的第一个字母要大写)，也可不加双引号(这时第一个字母一般不大写)。中考引用谚语的表达方式常见的有如下几种：
1)A proverb goes / says,---
2)As a / the proverb goes / says,---
Aproverb goes, “Better to lose with a wise man than win with a fool.”有一句依地语谚语说得好，“宁输智者，不赢傻子。”(August 14, 2000)

As a local proverb here in Chad puts it: A woman who is pregnant has one foot in the grave.正如乍得当地的一句谚语所说：女人怀宝宝，鬼门关上走一遭。(March 20, 2004)An old proverb has it that “if the thorn doesn’t scratch when it first emerge, it will never scratch.”
