set a thief to catch a thief. 以贼捉贼。 short accounts make long friends. 好朋友勤算账。 something is better than nothing. 聊胜于无。 soon learn, soon forgotten. 学得快，忘得快。 soon ripe, soon rotten. 熟得快，烂得快。 speech is silver, silence is gold. 能言是银，沉默是金。 still water run deep. 静水常深。 strike the iron while it is hot. 趁热打铁。 success belongs to the persevering. 坚持就是胜利。 take things as they come. 既来之，则安之。 talking mends no holes. 空谈无补。 talk of the devil and he will appear. 说曹，曹就到。 tall trees catch much wind. 树大招风。 teach others by your example. 躬亲示范。 the best hearts are always the bravest. 无私者无畏。 the best man stumbles. 伟人也有犯错时。 the cat shuts its eyes when stealing. 掩耳盗铃。 the danger past and god forgotten. 过河拆桥。 the darkest hour is nearest the dawn. 黎明前的黑暗。 the darkest place is under the candlestick. 烛台底下最暗。 |
