Spare the rod , and spoil the child 不教不成材。
In for a penny , in for a pound 一不做，二不休
A friend in need is a friend indeed . 患难见真情。
A lazy youth , a lousy age . 少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲
A good neighbor ,a good morrow 好邻生好景
Many men ,many minds .十个人， 十条心。熟得早，坏（烂）得快。
Nothing venture ,nothing gain. 不入虎穴，焉得虎子
Two’s company , three’s none . 两人成伴，三人不欢
Speech is silver , silence is gold . 言语是银，沉默是金
In a world as empirical as ours, a youngster who dose not know what he is good at will
not be sure what he is good for.
在我们这个经验的世界里，一个不懂得自己精通什么的青年不会确切地知道他的价值所在。
What we do willingly is easy.
愿者不难。
You cannot burn the candle at both ends.
蜡烛不能两头点，精力不可过分耗。
You cannot eat your cake and have it.
鱼与熊掌，不可得兼。
Time and tide wait for no man.
时不我待。
Water dropping day by day wears the hardest rock away.
滴水穿石。
There is no royal road to learning.
书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟。
Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind,
or evaporated as mist by the morning sun.
The day flows away through the sink when I wash my hands,
wears off in the bowl when I eat my meal,
and passes away before my day-dreaming gaze as reflect in silence.
Why don’t you ask Roy? He’s well up in Chinese art. 对…很精通
I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me.
Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean,
my days are dripping into the stream of time, soundless, traceless.
buttoned up 守口如瓶的
button up my lip 默不作声
more often than not 往往, 多半
More often than not the patient recovers.
病人多半能恢复健康
You may unswervingly(始终不渝的) love or be loved by a person.
But love will change its composition with the passage of time.
As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
Sometimes right decisions are made without full conscious understanding of all the issues involved.
A thousand mile journey starts with a single step.
stumble into 同…相碰;无意中卷入;偶尔走入;犯(错误,罪等)
the long and the short of it 概括
Individual and collective based cultures: If you’re someone who likes
privacy, your own space, making your own decisions, you probably belong
to a culture where the individual is central. But if you like to have
other people around you, and feel the need to ‘do the right thing’,
your culture is probably one where the group - or the ‘collective’ - is
the most important unit.
Could any spectacle(可笑的事物), for instance, be more grimly(严格地,可怕地,冷酷地) weird
than that of gunners using science to shatter(砸碎) men’s bodies while, close at hand(就在眼前),
surgeons use it to restore them?
close at hand 就在眼前
turn to account 利用
The trickle（滴）became a stream;the stream has now become a torrent（洪流）.
the tempo was suddenly raised(乐曲的速度或拍子,速度进度)
The tune has a fast tempo. 该曲调节奏快
Libraries made education possible, and education in its turn added to libraries
accumulation of knowledge
Why does the idea of progress loom so large in the modern world?
Surely because progress of a particular kind is actually taking place around us
and is becoming more and more manifest.
As is so often pointed out, knowledge is a two-edged weapon,
which can be used equally for good or evil.
