英语学习：在英语写作中活用谚语的技巧一、引用谚语的技巧1. 用as the saying goes来引出谚语，其意为“常言道”“正如有句谚语所说”；它可以放在句首，也可以放在句末，有时也可放在句子中间如：“More haste less speed,” as the saying goes. 常言道：“欲速则不达Accidents will happen,” as the saying goes. 正如有句谚语所说：“天有不测风云As the saying goes, “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.” 正如有句谚语所说：“蛋未孵化，莫数小鸡However, as an old saying goes, a coin has two sides.

Just as a saying goes: “Only work no play makes Jack a dull boy.” 依我的看法，多进展体育熬炼是解决这个问题的一个好方法正如有句谚语所说：“只工作不玩耍，聪慧孩子也变傻2. 用There is a saying going like this 来引出谚语，其意为“有句谚语是这样说的”如：There is a saying going like this, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” What is a true friend? A true friend is a person who can share your happiness and sorrow. 有句谚语是这样说的：“患难见真情什么样的朋友才算是真正的朋友？真正的朋友就是能与你共享欢乐和分担忧愁的人There is a Chinese saying going like this: “Traveling ten thousand li is better than reading ten thousand books.” Indeed, travel benefits us a lot. 中国有句谚语是这样说的：“读万卷书不如行万里路。

Indeed, early rising does good to our life in many ways. 有句谚语是这样说的：早睡早起使人安康、富有又聪慧早起床确实在很多方面对我们的生活有好处3. 用which is a saying we are all familiar with来引出谚语此时的which引出的是一个非限制性定语从句，留意其前用逗号，不行用句号。
其实，这类表达若运用得当，对于提高书面表达得分特别有帮忙，由于不仅引用谚语可以算一种高级表达，而且还能恰当地用上非限制性定语从句，可以说是“高级中的高级”了如：We should sleep eight hours and make ourselves in good moods every day. A merry heart goes all the way, which is a saying we are all familiar with. 我们每天要睡八个小时，让自己有个好心情心旷神怡，事事顺当——这可是我们大家都熟识的一句谚语Honesty is the best policy, which is a saying we are all familiar with.
