英文经典谚语俗语30例详解
英文经典谚语俗语30例详解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」。
