英语俚语 (American Idioms)
英语俚语(American Idioms)1、the apple of one's eye：掌上明珠，珍爱的人（或物）这里的apple是指瞳孔，是眼睛里最敏感最珍贵的部分。
这条成语来自《圣经. 诗篇》第十七篇第八节："求你保护我，如同保护眼中的瞳孔。
"（Keep me as the apple of the eye.）[例]The little girl is the apple of her parents' eye. 这个小女孩是她父母的掌上明珠。
2、bad egg: 坏蛋；流氓，骗子，二流子；没出息的人此语大约于上世纪中叶在美国出现，十年后传到英国。
在比喻上，"坏蛋"也可作为腐败的象征，因为坏蛋从外表看不出来，里面却已气味难闻。
[例] Trust him nothing; he is a bad egg. 别相信他，他是个坏蛋。
3、burn one's boats (bridges): 破釜沉舟，自断退路，有进无退这句成语源自某些军事家的行动。
相传古罗马恺撒等名将出征时，常烧毁船只，士兵们后退无路，只有勇往直前，战胜敌人。
[例] "That's done it" said Manby, tearing up the agreement. "Now we've burned our boats behind us and we've no option but to go forward with the project.""事已如此，"曼贝一边说，一边撕掉协议书，"现在我们已破釜沉舟，除按计划前进外，别无选择。
"4、castle in Spain (the air)空中楼阁，白日做梦来自法语chateauxen Espangne.为什么提到西班牙？可能因为西班牙一度被认为是个富于浪漫色彩的国家。
美言美句（中英对译）

3 Maybe the so-called happy ending is to have endless hope, never give up and move on.也许所谓的幸福结局，就是抱着永不放弃的希望，继续前行。
4 There is no fast track to success, and no highway to happiness. All success comes from tireless effort and pursuit, and all happiness comes from daily struggle and perseverance.成功没有快车道，幸福没有高速路。
所有的成功，都来自不倦的努力和奔跑；所有幸福，都来自平凡的奋斗和坚持。
5 Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.人生像洋葱：你只能一层一层地把它剥开，有时你还得流泪。

英美人常说的100句话及其文化内涵
英美人常说的100句话及其文化内涵(二)51-----Love finds a wayLove is considered one of the most powerful and determined forcesin the world. Two people in love will "find a way" to get together.52-----Absence makes the heart grow fonderWhen lovers are separated, they may think about each other constantly. their love may deepen.53-----Out of sight, out of mindThis is said of someone not considered important or worthy of loyalty. One forgets about that person as soon as he or she is out of sight.54------Love makes the world go aroundLove is the driving force in all of life. Love makes life worth living. If you understand love,you understand everything about life.55-----Marry in haste and repent at leisureDo not rush into any long-term commitment. In the past this meant, "take your time before you commit yourself to a marriage partner." Nowit means, "Do not commit yourself to anyone you will be sorry." or it may mean, "Live with a person for a while before marrying him or her."It may also apply to any long-term partnership, such as a joint business venture.56------Talk is cheapTalking is not doing, It is easy to talk about a plan, but this gets little respect untill one takes a risk and puts the plan into action.57-----Love is blindWhen people are in love, they do not see each other's faults.58-----Time is moneyTime can be converted to money, that is, wages are often paid per hour of work. Managers want employees to do things quickly because "time is money." If employees waste time, the company loses money.59-----If you're so smart, why ain't you richThis question implies that intelligence, like time, can be converted into money. It is used to cut down an ordinary person (not a rich one) who has expressed an opinion as if it is the final word on the subject.60-----Beggars can't be choosersBeggars have to accept whatever they get. A poor person has very few choices in life. This harsh reply may be used if people complain about the size or quality of a gift.61-----The love of money is the root of all evilGreed will lead a person into many other evils such as cheating, oppression and violence. (one also hears, money is the root of all evil, which places the blame more on money than on greed.)62-----A fool and his money are soon partedFolly will always show up in the way a fool handles money. Wise people are the ones smart enough to guard money once they have it.63-----It isn't whether you win or lose, it's how you play the gamePlaying well and fairly is more important than succeeding. This saying is sometimes used to console someone who has lost a game. The ideas is that in spite of losing, one may still feel like a success if one has played as well as possible.64-----Money can't buy happinessThere are some things money just can't buy. This reminds peoplethat money is not an ultimate value although it often is treated as one. The saying may be used as a comment when a wealthybut lonely and wretched person commits suicide.65-----Nice guys finish lastSuccess is valued more highly than kindness and politeness. If unkindness and impoliteness contribute to one's success, they are sometimes excused as "toughness" or "what it takes." This is more often applied to men than woman.66-----The one who dies with the most toys winsThis recent, cynical saying makes fun of three common American desires-- competing, accumulating property, and having fun.67-----Just do itThis proverb is actually a recently invented advertising slogan for the Nike Shoe company. It may also be the best three-word summary of American cultural values. It means, "quit being indecisive, Don't bother consulting a lot of people. Don't waste much times on planning. Just do it and do it now.68-----You only go around once in lifeEnjoy life, do what you want to do, experience everything you can.69-----Put your money where your mouth isGet serious about what you are saying. When you have spoken infavor of something, prove that you mean it by risking some money on it in a bet or an investment.70-----The best defense is a good offenseBe pro-active and goal-oriented, not timid or conservative. Aim to conquer, not merely to protect yourself.71-----The road to hell is paved with good intentionsLike talking, intending is not doing. Actions matter far more than intentions. Actions determinewhere a person ends up.72-----Never put off till tomorrow what you can do todayDoing is better than waiting. If you wait, you might lose your opportunity73-----Action speak louder than wordsTo know people's hearts, pay more attention to what they do than what they say.74-----Idle hands are the devil's workshopWhen people have nothing constructive to do, they get into mischief. The child who is bored may pick up a crayon and color on the wall, something that would not happen if the child were happily occupied in some other activity.75-----You've got to take the bull by the hornsGrab directly and fearlessly for the toughnest part of a problem. Don't look for an easy way out.76-----Money doesn't grow on treesYou have to work for things. Success does not come on its own.77-----Easy come, easy goIf you have received something without working for it, it may soon be gone. You will not be as careful with it as you will be with something you earned.78-----Too many cooks spoil the brothIndividual action or action by the smallest group possible isbetter than consulting a lot of people. Too much consultation will waste time and create problems.79-----Stand on your own two feetGrow up; act like an adult. Don't ask me to do something for you. This may be said to a young or immature person who depends too much on others. It is like a cow kicking a grown calf that wants to suckle.80------If you want something done right, do it yourselfThis discourages people from trusting anyone except themselves. It maybe said to someone who ask another person to do a job for him/her and then complains about it was done.81------Necessity is the mother of inventionWhen a person really needs something, he or she figures out some new way to get it. This creative initiative to change one's situation is considered much better than giving up and accepting things as they are.82------First come, first served.This saying is used when there is a limited supply of something such as tickets to an event or food at a picnic. The idea is that no matter what your status, if you want some of what is being given away or sold, you must present yourself in person and in good time.83-----No pain no gainone must put forth an effort in order to succeed. This saying comes from physical fitness instructors. They say that if you do not exercise hard enough to make your muscles hurt, the exercise is not doing you much good.84-----Give him an inch and he'll take a mileBe careful of presumptuous people who take more initiative than they should. If you do someone a small favor or delegate a little permission or a little power, he or she may take advantage of you.85-----If it isn't broke, don't fix itDo not bother trying to improve something if it is already working satisfactorily. That is a waste of time and you run the risk of breaking the thing while you are trying to improve it.86-----There is no harm in tryingA person expects to be respected for making an effort even if it does not succeed.87-----The cure is worse than the diseaseWhile trying to solve one problem, we create an even bigger problem. We would have been better off if we had done nothing.88-----Count to ten before you lose your temperDo not instantly let your feelings control your actions. Slow down. Think before you react.89-----All things come to him who waitsSometimes patience is better than initiative.90-----There is many a slip between the cup and the lipThis refers to a plan that has gone wrong. When one is drinkingfrom a cup, one intends to get all the drink into the mouth, but this does not always happen. The plan is good but it can still fail.91-----Boys will be boysPeople will act according to their nature, including some mischief. This is sometimes used to describe irresponsible but not too seriously wrong behavior by men. In other words, grown men will sometimes act like little boys.92------One bad apple can spoil the whole barrelDo not associate with bad people. They may spoil you as a rotting apple spoils the apples next to it in the barrel.93-----Better the devil you know than the devil you don'tPeople are generally not trustworthy. It is therefore better todeal with a familiar person or situation than an unknown one. That way you know what to watch out for and you can protectyourself better.94-----Nobody is perfectEveryone has shortcomings. This is used as an excuse for a minor Mistake that has been made.95------The grass is always greener on the other side of the fencePeople are never satisfied with what they have. They always want what someone else has.96-----A man is only as old as he feelsA person's energy level is more important than age.97-----A man's home is his castleAt home a man is like a king, completely free to do as he wishes.98-----Clothes make the manThe way a man dresses will affect the way he sees himself and the way other people see him. The implication is that if you want to succeed, dress for success.99-----Two heads are better than oneTwo people are more likely to succeed than one working or thinking alone. It is better to consult than to act alone.100-----Beauty is only skin deepOne should admire a person, particularly a woman, for her deep, inner character and not simply for her superficial beauty.。
