as long as 这里表示只要，引导条件状语从句。

这句可以和第七句参考着学习：7.A hedge between keeps friendship green.
27、Take the rough with the smooth. 逆来顺受。
rough，艰难;(生活的)苦难方面;smooth，顺意，平平安安的意思。
the roughs and the smooths，就是艰难与顺利;苦与乐;人世的甘苦等意思

the lily, to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow . .
. is wasteful and ridiculous excess." 为纯金镀金，为百合着色，为紫罗兰填香，为冰面整饰，抑或是为彩虹增彩，皆属画蛇添足之
可笑举动。
34、a drop in the bucket 沧海一粟;九牛一毛
a drop in the bucket 多用于美语，也可说成"a drop in the ocean"，表示同整体比起来，只占很小的一部分或者是和较大、
较多、较重要的事物比，并不算什么。
如：A hundred thousand may seem a lot but it's a drop in the bucket/ocean compared to the
millions that need to be spent.
bucket 一词所指的桶，就指我们以前家里用来提水或者提砂子/油漆用的桶。我们平常说倾盆大雨，大家比较熟悉的表达有 It rains

goalkeeper.
39、He loses his thanks who promises and delays.许诺又拖延，有恩无人谢。
这里 thanks 做名词，意为道谢的话。
promises,做名词解释为诺言，做动词时就是做出承诺，发誓的意思。
delay 和 postpone 是同意词，解释为拖延。
日常生活中，我们总是做出这样或那样的承诺。需要注意的是，做出承诺后，我们不但要履行我们的承诺，而且必须在一定的时间内实现，否
则别人就会说：He loses his thanks who promises and delays.
40、The more you study, the more you will find yourself ignorant. ——Descartes
学，然后知不足。——笛卡儿

goalkeeper.
39、He loses his thanks who promises and delays.许诺又拖延，有恩无人谢。

delay 和 postpone 是同意词，解释为拖延。

40、The more you study, the more you will find yourself ignorant. ——Descartes
学，然后知不足。——笛卡儿

are.我一点也不知道他的计划是什么。
无知的人，就是 an ignorant person。

118
 另外，uneducated, unlearned 也有无知的意思。不同的是， uneducated 是指未受过正规系统教育的 ,如:He was
uneducated.他未受过正规教育。unlearned 是指无学问的，无文化的。例如:He was not unlearned in history.他对历史并
非无知。
这句格言的同义表达有： Knowledge is infinite. 学无止境。
41、Never try to teach one's grandma to suck eggs. (Never offer to teach fish to swim.)
不要班门弄斧。

egg。喝酒喝高了，是 full as an egg。而 lay an egg，字面意思是下蛋，而这句话：He laid an egg telling a joke.意思却
是讲笑话讲砸了。所以，任何事情 laid an egg 就是说失败了、搞砸了。所以，做任何事情都应该 walk / tread on / upon eggs 小心
翼翼地行事。
egg 的其他习惯用法：
from the egg to the apple 自始至终
He that would have eggs must endure the cackling of hens. 想要吃鸡蛋，就不得不听母鸡叫。(要享受就得先吃
苦)

子的前后一致。在写作中值得得注意这一点。
我们前面说过：Distance lends enchantment to the view.距离产生美。结合这则谚语可知：偶尔或是短暂的离别可能会促

关于苦难，还有一些相关的谚语，如：Misfortunes tell us what fortune is.不经灾难不知福。
51、One must draw back in order to leap better. 退一步是为了进两步。

在描写正确看到挫折/失败或相关的话题时可以使用，如《写作 160 篇》第 52 页的“反思与进步”。
52、Things past cannot be recalled.往事不可追，往者不可谏。
Past,是形容词，在这里修饰 things，解释为过去的;刚过去的事情。形容词一般放在被修饰的名词或代词前面，但在某些情况下，可以后
置。past, positive, following 等形容词前置或后置皆可，而意义不变。可以说 in years past,也可以说 in past years，意义相
同。
