古代习语翻译
古代习语翻译德不孤，必有邻。
Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors恻隐之心，仁之端也；羞恶之心，义之端也；辞让之心，礼之端也；是非之心，智之端也。
人之有是四端也，犹其有四体也。
The feeling of commiseration is the principle of benevolence. The feeling of shame and dislike is the principle of righteousness .The feeling of modesty and complaisance is the principle of propriety. The feeling of approving and disapproving is the principle of knowledge. Men have these four principles just as they have their four limbs.没有义务的地方，就没有权利Where there is no obligation there is no right.人类文明史也是一部同疾病和灾难的斗争史。

习近平The history of human civilization is one of fighting diseases and tiding over disasters. The virus does not respect borders. Nor is race or nationality relevant in the face of the disease. Confronted countries have tackled the virus head on. Around the world, people have looked out for each synergy in the fight against COVID-19.富而可求也;虽执鞭之士，吾亦为之。
汉语习语英译
[敷衍搪塞] give someone the runaround别拿话儿搪塞我们。
我们只想知道你到底是同意还是不同意。
Don’t give us the runaround. We’d just like to know whether you agree or not.“拿话儿搪塞”或“敷衍搪塞”的说法可用give someone the runaround的句式来表示。
give someone the runaround实际上指“使某人到处乱转”，即在“找借口”或“托辞”。
这也就相当于“搪塞”所要表达的意思了。
请看下述例句：Sample Sentences1、不要拿话搪塞我，告诉我你到底想不想和我结婚！Don’t give me the runaround. Just tell me if you would marry me or not.2、我跟他借钱，他只是拿话搪塞却分文未借。
I asked him to lend me some money, but I got nothing except the runaround.3、希望这次你能给我个确切的答复，别再拿话搪塞我了。
I’ve come to know the definite answer this time, not the runaround again.[哭穷] to poor-mouth别跟我哭穷了，我还不知道你的底细？Don’t poor-mouth to me . I have your number.汉语中“哭穷”的说法实际上是指一种“掩盖钱财实力”，“装寒酸”的掩饰行为，可用俚语poor-mouth来表示。
例如：每当我要跟他借钱的时候他就跟我哭穷。
He would poor-mouth to me whenever I come to borrow money.此语是个多义词，有时也可用来表示“说话留有余地”的意思。
