英语俚语里的数字表达（很地道哟！）

1、two heads are better than one

三个臭皮匠,顶个诸葛亮。

例句

We'd better help him with this problem. Two heads are better than one.

2、two wrongs don't make a right

以牙还牙行不通(两个错误不等于一个正确)。

这是英国英语中的一个习语。意思是说，即使有人先对你犯错，你也不能对他犯错，因为他的错加上你的错并不能成就一个正确。It is never right to wrong anyone, even if he has wronged you first. His "wrong" plus your "wrong" together would not make a "right". 从字面上看，two wrongs don't make a right 的意思是：两个错误不等于一个正确。引申为“以牙还牙行不通”。

例句

We must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.

我们必须要记住：以牙还牙行不通，如果有人冒犯了你，你也不应以牙还牙。
