三、IDIOM（成语，习语)

解释

Idioms可以说是我们的成语，一般从字面根本看不出它原来想表达的真正意思。和俚语不同，Idiom是被所有人都理解，而不是方言。所以我们要先重点学Idioms.

示例

rain cats and dogs - rain very heavily

It's raining cats and dogs tonight.

pick a language up - learn a language by living in a country

Kevin picked up a little Italian when he lived in Rome.

break a leg - do well at a performance or presentation

Break a leg on your presentation John.

四、PROVERB（谚语）

解释

上面所说的俚语，行话，习语是指短语或词语，而谚语或格言通常意义上仅仅指完整的句子。

示例

The early bird gets the worm. - start working early and you will be successful

I get up at five and do two hours of work before I go to the office. The early bird gets the worm!

When in Rome, do as the Romans. - when you are in a foreign culture, you should act like the people in that culture

I'm wearing shorts to work here in Bermuda! When in Rome, do as the Romans.

You can't always get what you want. - This proverb means what is says, you can't always get what you want. The Rolling Stones knew how to put that to music!

Stop complaining. You can't always get what you want. Learn to live with that truth!
