左右为难between

and

the

and

the

hard

place.

[字面意思]猫也可以看国王。

[解释]无名小卒也可以评论大人物。人皆可以为尧舜。不要因为别人的资格不够老，或经验不如你多，就不让他发表意见。

.

[字面意思]节省一个便士就等于挣了一个便士。

[解释]省钱是明智的做法。省一分就是赚一分。不要因为钱的数目不大就不把它当一回事，瞧不起小钱是不对的，要记住Apennysavedisapennyearned这条经验。

.

[字面意思]眼睛盯着看的壶永远不会开。

[解释]事情在进行中，不到时候就不会有结果，要水到渠成才行。心急锅不开。你着急？着急也没用！用眼睛盯着它看也无济于事，事情不会因为你着急就会有较快的进展。

.

[字面意思]结尾好就意味着一切都好。

[解释]结局好，一切都好。出自莎士比亚剧本名。在开始或中间环节出现的一些小的差错或麻烦无关紧要，没什么大不了的，只要最终的结局令人满意，那就是好的。

.[字面意思]坏消息传得快。

[解释]好事不出门，坏事传千里。

.

[字面意思]美貌只是肤浅的。

[解释]美貌只是表面现象而已。以貌取人靠不住。你不能只看到她有漂亮的面孔就向她求爱，你还应该考虑其它方面的因素。找结婚伴侣是要过日子，不是当海报招贴画来看的。我的忠告是两句话：.

'tbechoosers.

[字面意思]乞丐不可能有选择。

[解释]你得到的不完全是你想得到的，可能条件或质量等方面差一些，但没有再选择的余地，只能接受不十分满意的事物。这就叫Beggarscan'tbechoosers.

.

[字面意思]安全比遗憾好

[解释]最好不要去冒险。即使不冒险你得多费些功夫，多做些枯燥无味的工作，这都值得。总比为了省事而冒险强。变体：Bettertobesafethansorry.

,easygo.

[字面意思]来的容易，去的快。

[解释]这句话适合讲给那些把什么事都看得容易的人。尤其是对那种认为挣钱容易，不把钱当钱，对任何事情都不担心的人最适合。应该提醒这种人"钱不是长在树上的"。钱不是像树上的果实一样，今年吃光了明年还会自动长出来。有些人自己不挣钱，不知道挣钱的艰辛。

.

[字面意思]每一小部分都有帮助。

[解释]点点滴滴，有其助益。一颗颗粮食堆成山，一块块铜板成千万。偏远地区的孩子没学上，我们有义务帮助他们。希望大家多支持，捐钱、捐书、捐铅笔，什么都行。多捐多感谢、少捐也不嫌，Everylittlehelps.

.

[字面意思]好酒不需要做广告。

[解释]好的产品不需要做更多的广告。酒好不怕巷子深。或许这话在全球化经济竞争的年代不太适合。

.

[字面意思]我浑身上下都是耳朵。

[解释]我在洗耳恭听。我很感兴趣，我在集中精力，全神贯注地等你往下说。比如：女朋友说"我今天下午去参加面试了。你想知道结果吗？"女朋友没往下说，就等男朋友开口，希望他说："Tellme!Tellme!I'mallears!"

,wearit.

[字面意思]如果帽子合适，就戴着吧。

[解释]要是言之中肯，就接受吧。你的作业没做好，老师认为你看电视太多，影响了你的学习。老师说你是"电视迷"（TVaddict），你不承认。你我同住一个宿舍，我很清楚老师说的是对的，所以Ifthecapfits,wearit.

.

[字面意思]动了我的山羊。

[解释]某事使你生气，你可以说Itgetsmygoat（真让人生气！）比如我看到有人站在路中间说话，挡着道，我还得绕着过去，我就特别生气。变体：Itgetsonmygoat.

.

[字面意思]从大脑里溜走了。

[解释]忘记了。没记住。我本想告诉你，你的女朋友来电话了，但是我把这事给忘记了。Imeanttotellyouyourgirlfriendhadcalled,butitslippedmymind.

.

[字面意思]跳探戈舞需要两个人。

[解释]一个巴掌拍不响。孤掌难鸣。如果两个人在吵架，我认为错不在一方，两人都不对，那就可以说Ittakestwototango.

'sallmyeye!

[字面意思]都是的我的眼睛。

[解释]表示不同意或惊讶。大意相当于：我根本不相信；他说的都是骗人的鬼话；胡说八道。也可以说：That'sallmyeye.如果你听到了某人说的假话，你就可以说It'sallmyeye!劝别112.笨鸟先飞Aslowsparrowshouldmakeanearlystart.113.君子之交淡如水Thefriendshipbetweengentlemenisaspureascrystal;Ahedgebetweenkeepsfriendshipgreen114.前人栽树后人乘凉Onegenerationplantsthetreesinwhoseshadeanothergenerationrests.Onesowsandanotherreaps.115．前怕狼后怕虎fearthewolfinfrontandthet
