諺語(yǔ)和習(xí)語(yǔ)是學(xué)習(xí)一門語(yǔ)言的關(guān)鍵部分！諺語(yǔ)可以幫助你描繪一幅圖畫，而不是直接說(shuō)出你的意思，幫助和你說(shuō)話的人更好地理解你。

還有什么比食物更好的話題來(lái)描繪呢？所有這些諺語(yǔ)都與食物有關(guān)！如果你餓了就不要讀這篇文章，它只會(huì)讓你更餓！等你吃完飯?jiān)倏催@個(gè)清單。

2 A hungry man is an angry man!

餓漢易怒！

When I was younger, I would never ask my mother whether I could go to my friend’s house if she had not yet eaten lunch or dinner, because I knew that she would always say no if she hadn’t eaten! A hungry man is an angry man!

在我小的時(shí)候，如果我媽媽還沒吃午飯或晚餐，我從來(lái)不會(huì)問(wèn)她我是否可以去我朋友的家，因?yàn)槲抑廊绻€沒吃，她總是說(shuō)不！餓漢易怒！

3 Eat to live but do not live to eat!

吃飯是為了活著，但活著不是為了吃飯。

Once someone is overweight, they should think about eating to live, but not living to eat.

4 Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!

不要把一切希望寄托在一件事上

5 It’s no use crying over spilt milk!

覆水難收

The company wants us to try to fix all the problems that we have had with our new product, but I honestly think that it’s no use crying over spilt milk! We should just move on and work on our next product.

6 One man’s meat is another man’s poison!

7 Too many cooks spoils the broth!

人多手雜反壞事

Some big, successful companies such as Google have teams of only a dozen people, maximum. They call this the “two pizza principle”, that teams should be able to be fed with just two pizzas. This is because too many cooks spoils the broth, and larger teams are very difficult to manage.

一些成功的大公司，比如谷歌，團(tuán)隊(duì)最多只有十幾個(gè)人。他們稱之為“雙比薩餅原則”，即團(tuán)隊(duì)只需吃兩個(gè)比薩餅。這是因?yàn)槿硕嗍蛛s反壞事，更大的團(tuán)隊(duì)很難管理。

9 Do not bite off more than you can chew!

別貪多嚼不爛！

Before the semester started, I told my best friend Ruth not to bite off more than she could chew.

Halfway through the semester, she was completely exhausted but she only had herself to blame.
