  今天前程百利小编为大家分享的是纯英版托福谚语。大家可以多积累一些这样原汁原味的谚语,不断的积累才能帮助大家提升托福词汇量。

  Speakers tend to use proverbs to comment on a situation, often at the end of a true story someone has told, or in response to some event. As with all idiomatic expressions, they are useful and enjoyable to know and understand, but should be used with care

  Warnings/advice/morals—do’s and don’ts

  ---don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched---don’t anticipate the future too much

  ---don’t put all eggs in one basket—don’t invest all your efforts or attention in just one thing

  --never judge a book by its cover---don’t judge people/things by their outward appearance

  --never look a gift horse in the mouth—never refuse good fortune when it is in front of you

  Key elements

  --when the cat’s away, the mice will play.

  --you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink

  --one swallow doesn’t make a summer

  Visualizing

  --there’s no smoke without fire

  --too many cooks spoil the broth

  --people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

  --many hands make light work

  Find proverbs which would be suitable for these situations

  1—someone says they have just been offered a free two-week holiday, but are hesitating whether to take up the offer—never look a gift horse in the mouth

  2—someone thanks you and your friends for helping to load heavy boxes into a van

  3---someone says they cannot be bothered applying to different universities

  4—three different people have made different arrangements for the same meeting, and so everyone comes at different times and the result is total confusion

  Some proverbs are similar in meaning to one another

  1—a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

  2—don’t count your chickens before they are hatched

  3—all that glitters is not gold

  4—absence makes the heart grow fonder

  5--never judge a book by its cover
