A lazy youth, a lousy age.
少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲.
An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
一日之计在於晨。
A road of a thousand miles begins with one step.
千里之行始於足下。
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
吃一堑,长一智。
All roads lead to Rome.
条条道路通罗马。
A man can not spin and reel at the same time.
一心不能二用。
A true friend is known in the day of adversity.
疾风知劲草,患难知友情.
A wilful man will have his way.
有志者事竟成。
A word spoken is past recalling.
一言既出,驷马难追。
Behind bad luck comes good luck.
塞翁失马,焉知非福。
Better good neighbours near than relations far away.
远亲不如近邻。
Burnt child dreads the fire.
一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳.
A good medicine tastes bitter.
良药苦口,忠言逆耳. |
