In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs. Franklin lived in the 1700s. He was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer.
For many years, Franklin published a book called "Poor Richard's Almanac". He included many proverbs that he had heard or created. Some of them are still used today. Like this one: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like, "A penny saved is a penny earned." This means that money should not be wasted.
Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say, "All is fair in love and war." They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.今天我们来谈谈谚语。所谓谚语就是短小精悍而又众所周知的言辞,它们表达了普遍真理或信念。大多数文化中都有各种谚语,它们通常由来已久。
美国历史上,本杰明·富兰克林因谚语而闻名于世。富兰克林生活在18世纪,是一位反对英国统治进行美国独立战争的领袖。同时他也是一名科学家、发明家和作家。
多年来,富兰克林出版了《穷查理年鉴》。书中收录了大量他曾听过的或是自创的谚语。有些谚语,诸如“早睡早起能使人健康,富有和聪明”至今仍在使用。
富兰克林也因其他谚语为人所知。如“省下一文钱就是赚了一文钱”,这句话的意思是告诫人们不要浪费钱。
以下是美国人使用谚语的一些例子。第一个是关于爱情的谚语。有人说“在爱情与战争中,一切都是公平的。”这意味着你在一段感情或斗争中的任何行为都是可以被接受的。
