1、A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams (J. Barrymore)

只要壹個人還有追求,他就沒有老。直到後悔取代了夢想,壹個人才算老。(巴裏摩爾)

as long as是經常用的連接詞,有兩個意思。第壹種表示既然、由於,同since接近,比如As long as you've offered this sports car, I'll accept it.既然妳要給我這輛跑車,我就接受了。第二種意思表示只要,引導條件狀語從句,這種意思較第壹種常見,也就是格言中的用法。

例如,I'll let her go as long as you give me ten thousand pounds.只要妳給我壹萬英鎊,我就放了她。這時,往往可以用provided that替換。I'll let her go provided that you give me ten thousand pounds.但顯然,provided that要正式些。

這句話中還有壹個詞組:take the place of,它的意思是代替,這裏的the壹定不能省略。例如:The computer is taking the place of TV in our lives.再例如: The word "replace" could take the place of "take the place of" in the above example.是不是有點糊塗了?在上面的例句中,take the place of也可以用replace代替。

2、A good education gives a man a great pull.

良好的教育對人是至關重要的。(良好的教育給人很大的好處。)

這句話中的pull有著其特殊的用法。Pull通常情況下都做動詞,有拖、拉、牽的意思;但是這裏的pull是名詞用法,它的意思是influence, informal special influence that gives you some advantage(有利條件,影響力)。

這句話說明了壹個人的成才除了會受到先天的影響,後天的良好教育也是必不可少的。

讓我們來看下面壹個句子:

The name of his family gives him a lot of pull in this town.

在這個小鎮上,他的姓氏給他帶來了不少好處。

3、Take no thought for tomorrow. 莫為明日愁。

這句話出自《聖經》,意謂著未來的事情都由上帝來安排,不必為明天而煩惱。

4、The course of true love never did run smooth. 好事多磨。

這句話出自莎士比亞的作品《仲夏夜之夢》(A Midsummer Night Dream)。直譯為真正的愛情往往要經歷許多挫折。

Course,在這裏並不是課程的意思,而是過程,進程,歷程的意思。Smooth-free from problems or difficulties,沒有問題的,無困難的,順利的。

只在經過艱苦磨難的愛情,才是真正的愛情,也才會讓我們更加懂得如何珍惜。

5、Birds of a feather flock together. 物以類聚,人以群分。

A feather,這裏是指具有相同的羽毛。Flock,鳥群,詞組a flock of可以解釋為壹群人,壹夥人。

比較通俗地來說就是,相同羽毛的鳥類聚集在壹起。大家可千萬別以為是誌同道合,這句話其實通常都用作貶意,有“壹丘之貉”之意。所以今後我們在用這個諺語的時候要特別註意。

6、Quality is better than quantity. 質勝於量。

Quality--the degree to which something is excellent; stand of goodness質,質量;Quantity--the fact of being measurable; amount量,數量。

我想大家知道哲學裏有這樣壹句話,只有量的積累,才會有質的飛躍。說明量的積累也是同樣很重要的,但是在量的積累的同時,千萬別忽視了質量上的要求。

7、A hedge between keeps friendship green. 保持距離,友誼常青。

Hedge,在這裏做名詞,解釋為樹籬,障礙物,也就是用於隔離的東西。在這裏教大家另外壹個詞組,我們平時說的"腳踏兩條船"用英語該如何表達呢?那就是Hedge one's bet,這裏的hedge做動詞用,意思是在兩面下註以防損失。引申壹下也就是"腳踏兩條船"。

這句話其實就是“君子之交淡如水”這樣壹層意思。

相似的表達句子:Good fences make good neighbors.

8、The only way to differentiate yourself from the competition is through service.

只有服務才能真正使妳在競爭中凸顯。

differentiate使分辨、辨別的意思,常同from和between搭配。例如:I can't differentiate between rose and Chinese rose.我分不清玫瑰和月季。這句話也可以說成I can't differentiate rose from Chinese rose.

但這句名言中differentiate from的意思與這個例句的意思不同,它的意思是"使有差別、有特點從而區別於其他"。那麽這句話就是說在激烈的競爭下,只有優質、有特色的服務才能使企業在眾多的競爭對手中顯示出自己的不同,在競爭中占有壹席之地。

參加面試的時候,不妨問問自己“What differentiates me from other candidates for the position?"

9、Better an open enemy than a false friend.公開的敵人勝於虛假的朋友。

這句話其中也隱含了另壹種意思,那就是我們中國人常說的“明槍易躲,暗箭難防”。

Open-actions, feelings, or intentions that are not hidden or secret;公開的,在這裏做形容詞。需註意的是,當open用做形容詞時只能位於名詞前面,比如說:an open secret壹個公開的秘密;

False-untrue,假的,虛偽的,不真實的;

Better...than,是壹個比較句式,意思是比...好。

10、Pleasant hours fly fast.美好時光最易逝。

Pleasant:愉快的,美好的;fly:飛逝,這裏形容時間過得很快,象這樣的用法還有:Time flies. (時光飛逝)。

這句諺語告訴我們這樣壹個道理,快樂的時光在不經意間就會流逝,我們應該好好珍惜每壹刻的美好瞬間。

11、Joys shared with others are more enjoyed.與人同樂,其樂無窮。

Share with:與......***享;分擔。

For example:

I'd like to share the pie with you.我願與妳分享這塊餡餅。

在平時的生活中我們經常會聽到這樣的問題:Can you tell me what is a true joy?

每當我們聽到這樣的問題總是會語塞,不知該如何回答。

Now we can give "true joy" a definition: Joys shared with others are more enjoyed.

12、Wonders will never cease. 奇跡的出現是不會終止的。

Wonder, something that makes you feel surprise and admiration;奇跡;奇觀;奇事。創造奇跡我們可以說:do wonders or make wonders; for a wonder就是說來奇怪,意想不到的意思。

Cease, to stop doing something;停止;終止。

The rain has ceased.雨停了。

Without cease,就是不停地,不斷地。

不知大家是否留意過英文新聞裏經常出現這樣壹個詞:cease-fire, an agreement to stop fighting for a period of time, especially so that a more permanent agreement can be made.其實就是停火的意思。

This proverb tells us that we should never give up our hope, because wonders will never cease.

13、Hitch your wagon to star. 把妳的大車套在星星上。/人要誌向遠大。

這句話意味著人要有遠大理想,要立誌超脫壹切世俗事物。

Hitch, to fasten something,在這裏解釋為被鉤住;被栓住;被套住。Hitch...to...就是把...系上,栓上。這個詞還有多種解釋:

(1)a problem that delays something for a short time.故障;障礙。比如說:討論順利地結束了。我們可以這樣表達:The discussion passed off without a hitch.

(2)informal to ask for a free ride from the drivers of passing cars by putting your hat out with your thumb raised.求得免費搭車。免費搭車者我們就說:hitchhiker.

Wagon, a strong vehicle with four wheels, used for carrying heavy loads and usually pulled by horse; a large open container pulled by a train, used for carrying goods. (in BrE),是指四輪馬車;在英式英語中指(鐵路)貨車。

大家在使用這個諺語的時候需要特別註意壹下,雖然這句話含有人要誌向遠大的意思,但是也有可能是貶義,即:好高騖遠。

14、I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. ----- Hellman

我不能、也不願毀滅我的良心去迎合時尚。----赫爾曼

conscience means the awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one''s conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong,良心就是對鞭策人行善而非作惡的本能行為在倫理或道德上的意識。例如:Let your conscience be your guide.讓妳的良心指引妳。His conscience troubled him after he took the money.他拿了錢以後,他的良心使他不安。我們常說的憑良心就是according to one''s conscience,問心無愧是have a clear [good] conscience.

關於這個詞,有如下習慣用語:

A good conscience is a constant feast. (=A good conscience is a soft pillow.)

問心無愧,高枕無憂。

A guilty conscience is a self-accuser. (=A guilty conscience needs no accuser.)

做賊心虛。

A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. 沒做虧心事,不怕鬼叫門。

get sth. off one''s conscience 解除良心上的負擔

have the conscience (to do; to say sth.) 竟厚顏無恥到(做、說...)

in all conscience 憑良心說,真的,的確,壹定

make sth. a matter of conscience 憑良心對待〔做〕某事

另外在口語中,我們可以說My conscience!這表示啊呀!噯!好家夥!(表示驚奇,遺憾等)的意思。

這句格言,其實說的就是壹種堅韌不屈的性格。

15、Dying is as natural as living.生死是自然法則。/生死有命,富貴在天。

Dying,在這裏指死亡。Be dying for/to, to have a real wish for/to (informal),(非正式)恨不得馬上;巴不得立刻;非常想:I'm dying for a cigarette.我恨不得馬上有支煙抽。

As natural as,和...壹樣普通,壹樣正常。As...as表示和...壹樣,中間必須是形容詞的原形。比如:as big as和...壹樣大; as fast as和...壹樣快。

Living,活著;有生命的。這個詞還可以解釋為現存的;現行的;在使用著的。A living language活語言。

這句諺語告訴我們生與死都是自然規律的壹部分。死亡是不可避免的,也是不可怕的。

16、The great end of life is not knowledge but action. ----- Huxley

人生的偉大目的不在於知而在於行。-----赫胥黎

knowledge:

1. understanding了解,理解例如:A baby has no knowledge of good and evil.小孩兒不解善惡。

2. all that a person knows familiarity gained by experience個人的知識,見聞例如:I have only a limited knowledge of computers.我的計算機知識是很有限的。

3. everything that is known, organized body of information學問,學識,知識例如:all branches of knowledge各門學問

knowledge常用的搭配如下:

be common/public knowledge人所***知

It's pointless trying to keep your friendship secret----it's common knowledge already.妳們無所謂將友情保留---其實已盡人皆知了。

Come to somebody's knowledge被某人熟悉

It has come to our knowledge that you have been cheating the company.我們了解妳壹直欺騙公司。

這句格言,實際是告訴我們做事要實幹,僅僅紙上談兵是不夠的。

17、A man without distant care must have near sorrow. 人無遠慮必有近憂。

Distant-the amount of space between two places or things,遠的,悠遠的。舉例:A distant relative遠房親戚;distant control遙控;long distance長途電話。

Care,通常是照顧;管理;或是小心的意思。比如:Give more care to your spelling.多註意妳的拼寫。在這裏care是指憂慮;煩惱;掛念。我們來看壹些例子:be free from all care無憂無慮/Care had aged him.憂慮使他顯得蒼老了。

Sorrow-a feeling of great sadness, usually because someone has died or because something terrible has happened to you,悲傷,悲哀。Convert sorrows into strength 化悲痛為力量。

社會競爭日益激烈,人們的壓力也越來越大,既有遠慮又有近憂的人已不在少數了。還是衷心希望所有的人都能放松心態,舒適地生活。

18、Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures.

我們絕大多數的失敗都是因為缺乏自信的緣故。

Distrust - a feeling that you cannot trust someone,不信任,懷疑。Have a distrust of somebody / something,對某人(某事)懷疑。Self-distrust,就是缺乏自信的意思。與之想反的是,self-confidence 充滿自信。由self-結構組成的詞組還有很多,比如:self-dramatizing 自吹自擂的;self-educated 自學的;self-financing 自籌經費;self-glorifying 自命不凡的;等等。

Cause,原因。the cause of,是導致...的原因。

Failure,是動詞fail的名詞形式,解釋為失敗。Failure is the mother of success.失敗是成功之母。也可以解釋為失敗的人;失敗的嘗試:He is a failure as an artist.他是個失敗的藝術家。Fail表示失敗或不能;忘記。Don't fail to ring me up.不要忘記給我打電話。

這個諺語就告訴我們在做任何壹件事情的時候我們都要充滿自信。

19、Some people pretend to despise the things they cannot have. ---- Aesop

吃不到葡萄的人說葡萄酸。----伊索

pretend means make pretensions,表示假裝,矯作的意思。

這裏,我們來看壹下下列幾個詞:pretend、feign、assume、affect ,都含"假裝"的意思。

pretend指"感覺到某事,而在言行上裝出是真的",如: pretend not to hear 假裝沒聽見。

feign指"精心裝有或裝作",如:feign deafness 裝聾。

assume指"裝出有某種感情的樣子,以掩飾其真正的感情",如:

She assumed a look of sorrow. 她假裝著悲傷的樣子。

affect指"為達到某種效果而假裝有某種特征或情感",如:affect a British accent裝英國腔。

20、The secret of success is constancy of purpose. 成功之秘訣乃為目標之有恒。

Secret - something kept hidden or known about by only a few people,秘密;機密。The secret of health 養身秘訣;make no secret of something 對某事毫不掩飾。

Constancy - the quality of staying the same even though other things change,堅定;堅貞;經久不變。Constancy of purpose目標堅定。

Purpose-the thing that an event, process, or activity is supposed to achieve, or the job that something is supposed to do,意圖;目的。What is his purpose in coming?他來的意圖是什麽?

這個諺語告訴我們確立目標,持之以恒就能成功地將事情完成。

21、Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.

知識是寶庫,而實踐是開啟這壹寶庫的鑰匙。

這句話也就是我們平常壹直在說的:理論知識的掌握必須建立在實踐的基礎之上。如果沒有實踐經驗,掌握的知識是比較抽象的。Treasure,財富,珍寶的意思。這個詞還有另外壹種形式treasury,可以解釋為國庫,金庫,也有寶庫的意思。那麽我們平時壹直在說的國庫券的英語應該怎麽表達呢?短期國庫券:treasury bill;中期國庫券:treasury note。既然解釋為寶庫,那麽就說明裏面的東西都是非常經典的,非常珍貴的,也就可以讓我們想到另外壹個詞集錦的表達方式,也是這個treasury。比如說中國詩歌集錦就是a treasury of Chinese poetry。

22、A Jack of all trades is master of none.

樣樣皆通,樣樣稀松。/通百藝即無壹長。

這裏的Jack不是我們平時所指的人名,在這裏是泛指無特長技術的人。我想大家都聽到過這樣壹句話:All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.同樣這裏的Jack也是泛指。

Trade在這裏的意思是-a particular job, especially one needing special skill with your hands.手藝。

這句話的意思其實很簡單,就是我們現在比較流行的壹個詞“三腳貓”啦。看來光會做“三腳貓”還是遠遠不夠的,壹定要有自己的某些特長。

A good education gives a man a great pull.

"木受繩則直,金就礪則利,君子博學而日參省乎己,則知明而行無過矣。"

荀子《勸學篇》

意思有些相近,荀子的更形象易懂。

23、Man can climb to the highest summit, but he cannot dwell there long. (Bernard Shaw)

人可以爬到最高峰但卻不能在那兒久住。(蕭伯納)

這句格言中有兩個詞值得學習,壹個是summit,另壹個是dwell. Summit最基本的意思是頂點、頂端,如:a mountain summit還有能達到的最高水平、程度這樣的意思,如:summit of career development, summit of ambition, summit of advancement, etc.另外,summit還表示最高級別、最高級別的,首腦會議、政府首腦的,可以做名詞,也可以做形容詞。頻頻出現的"高峰會議"這個說法就是從summit來的,可以說summit meeting, summit talk,或直接就是CEO summit。

dwell表示在某地居住,隱含長久居住的意義,是比較正式的用法,並且有dweller居民,dwelling住處,等對應的說法。經常會碰到關於這個詞的短語dwell on或者dwell upon。兩者幾乎沒什麽差別,意思是細說、詳論。例句如:She's dwelling too much on her past.她對自己的過去說得太詳細了。

24、The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. 心有余而力不足。

Spirit, the part of a person's mind that is able to think and will be talked about as clearly opposed to the body. (與肉體相對而言的)心靈,精神。

Flesh, the physical human body as opposed to the mind or soul. (人的)肉體。

這名話源出《聖經》,有力不從心的意思。

25、He loses all who loses the moment. 機不可失,時不再來。

Moment在這裏不能解釋為片刻,它所指的是the time for doing something,時機。

也就是說錯過了壹次機會,也就是錯過了壹切。告訴我們在日常生活中每時每刻都要做好準備,當機會來臨時就要抓住它,只有這樣人生才不會有太多的後悔。

在口語中更常見的說法是:Now or never.

26、Distance lends enchantment to the view.距離使風景更富魅力。/遠看風景更美。

Lend...to...,在這裏並不是把...借給...的意思,而應該解釋為to be suitable for being used in a particular way,有助於;適宜於;對......有用。

Enchantment-a feeling of mystery that strongly interests or attracts you.魅力;迷人之處;樂事。

View,在這裏是風景的意思。英語中表示風景的詞還有很多,比如說scenery; landscape, etc.

這句諺語出自蘇格蘭詩人托馬斯?坎貝爾的《希望的快樂》(The Pleasure of Hope)。揭示這樣壹個道理:距離產生美;其實人與人相處時應該保持壹定的距離,親密無間不壹定是促進友誼的最好途徑。

這句可以和第七句參考著學習:7.A hedge between keeps friendship green.

27、Take the rough with the smooth. 逆來順受。

rough:在這裏做名詞,譯作艱難;(生活的)苦難方面;smooth:同樣也做名詞,有順意,平平安安的意思。有這樣壹個詞組:the roughs and the smooths,就是艱難與順利;苦與樂;人世的甘苦等意思。

人生不如意事十之八九,當我們遇到這樣的事情時應該以樂觀的心態去面對,這樣才會活得快樂。

28、Actions speak louder than words.行動勝於空談。/事實勝於雄辯。

這句話選自美國詩人亨利?沃茲沃思?朗費羅(Henry Wordsworth Longfell
