When we learn language, learn some provds is good for us. We not only can use them in writing but also can know some culture from them.Let us learn several provbs.
First , Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
Example: -How were your exams? All over?
-I really don’t know. I did rather poorly last time. I hope I’ll do better this
time.
-Come on， don’t worry about it。 You are sure to pass。 As the saying goes， lightening never
strikes the same place twice.
One swallow does not make a summer.
Second, If you lie down with dogs， you will get up with fleas.
Example: -Harry! How come you’re back so late? Where’ve you been?
-Just to a friend’s.
-To a friend’s? Just for a glass of liquor， huh? You’re going to be
drowned in liquor， I’d say! If you lie down with dogs， you’ll get up to find yourself with millions of fleas!
Third, It is easy to find a stick to beat a dog.
Example: -Did you know that Jeff’s been fired?
-No. What for?
-Jeff sometimes had ideas different from our boss’s.
-Yeah， but Jeff hasn’t done anything wrong， has he?
-Well， boss is boss。 It is always easy to find a stick to beat a dog.
Fourth , Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.
Example: He has done serious wrong to his friends. You just wait and see. They will not let him go scot-free. Revenge is a dish that could be eaten cold.
Fifth, Man proposes， God disposes.
Example: A: Bob， how
about tomorrow’s driving test？Sure
to pass，huh？
B: I don’t know. I’ve done enough， I’d say. Anyway， man
proposes， God
disposes. I am praying for good luck
Sixth, It is a sin to steal a pin.
Example: Honesty is the best policy. Never covet what is not yours， for it is a sin to steal a
pin.
If you play with fire， you
get burnt.
Seventh: Every dog has its day.
Example: You must not look down upon him. Though poor and gloomy. he could turn out to be outstanding one day. As the saying goes， every dog has its day.
Eighth, There is no smoke without fire.
Example: "No
smoke without fire，"
said the detective.
"Smoke signals can be misread，" countered Sloan.
Nineth, You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.
Example: Don’t forget Wang is already 80. At his age， you can’t expect him to learn the tap dance. You can’t teach old dogs new tricks， you know.
