口译中级辅导之常用谚语词汇积累（口译中的重要技能有哪些）

1. Few are no match for the many.

口译考试是备考过程中非常重要的科目之一。要提高口译成绩，首先要掌握一些基本的技巧和方法。以下是一些 commonly used phrases and acronyms that you should remember:

1. Fire and water have no mercy.

If it's raining, don't worry—water will give you the strength you need. If it's cold outside, don't be afraid either; fire will warm your soul.

1. Fit the appetite to the dishes and the dress to the figure.

Like a piece of pie, don't overeat, nor let yourself look awkward at your outfit—otherwise, you'll ruin both yourself and the test!

1. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

When you're feeling down, think about those who are supporting you. They will always be there for you—just like how good friends can offer a hand when someone's missing.

1. The friendship of a gentleman is insipid as water.

If it's a gentlemanly person, don't be afraid to show them off; they'll never let you down (except if you're not very nice). Their charm and grace will always shine through.

1. A genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.

Think of it this way: your intelligence doesn't limit how hard you can work. The more challenging tasks you tackle, the smarter you become—until eventually, you'll realize that your brain works best when faced with difficult problems.

1. The gift should be trifling but the feeling should be profound.

When you throw a party, don't make it too complicated; otherwise, it will ruin everyone's plans (except if they're really interested in your elaborate menu). Focus on what matters—whether it's your personal happiness or your friends' success.

1. A good story is not the worse for being told twice.

If you've heard a good story more than once, don't let that make it worse. Most people will still find it enjoyable to listen again and again—if they haven't already. Storytelling is all about bringing people together through shared experiences.

1. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil.

Be careful when you're dealing with others—your actions can have a big impact on their behavior. If you treat them badly, they'll do the same to you in return. And if you behave well, so will everyone else.

1. A great teacher produces a brilliant student.

If it's a teacher who knows how to get students talking and engaged, that's an excellent person to have. A good teacher has high expectations for their students, and they'll work hard to meet those goals—until the day comes when they finally succeed!
