英语谚语是学习西方文化的一个剪影。就比如中文里面鲁迅先生鼓励我们要敢于做“第一个吃螃蟹的人”,这个句子出现在英语必修四的三维设计例句里,当时就有学生问为什么不翻译为eat crab,而是eat tomato.这就是文化之间的差异。谚语的使用能够加深我们对英语国家文化的理解,同时对比自己国家的文化,是相当有意思的,能给我们的英语语言学习增添很多的乐趣。
比如Actions speak louder than words.
No pains, no gains.
Better late than never.
Two heads are better than one.
Honesty is the best policy...
