在写作中活用谚语的技巧
一、引用谚语的技巧
1. 用as the saying goes来引出谚语,其意为“常言道”“正如有句谚语所说”;它可以放在句首,也可以放在句末,有时也可放在句子中间。如:
“More haste less speed,” as the saying goes. 常言道:“欲速则不达。”
“Accidents will happen,” as the saying goes. 正如有句谚语所说:“天有不测风云。”
As the saying goes, “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.” 正如有句谚语所说:“蛋未孵化,莫数小鸡。”
However, as an old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Having a private teacher also has its disadvantages. 但是,正如有句谚语所说:“每个硬币都有两个面。”请家庭教师也有其不利之处。
From my point of view, taking more physical exercises is a good way to solve these problems. Just as a saying goes: “Only work no play makes Jack a dull boy.” 依我的看法,多进行体育锻炼是解决这个问题的一个好办法。正如有句谚语所说:“只工作不玩耍,聪明孩子也变傻。”
