A: Don’t you think you should deal with this problem now?

B: I will do something about it tomorrow.

A: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

2. Appearances are deceiving.

这则典故出自伊索寓言中《老鼠与狮子》中的教训，告诫人们外表是欺骗人的东西。同样这句话也可以说成“Looks are deceiving.”下面是一个例子：

A: How’s Alice doing? Are you going to fire her?

B: Appearances are deceiving. She’s the best assistant I have.

A: Really? I didn’t think she could do anything.

3. Brevity is the soul of wit.

这是莎翁名著《哈姆雷特》中的人物尼斯的著名台词，意思是“简洁是智慧的精髓。”这句话对人说话，写作等都有重要的启迪。

A: I’m supposed to give a speech today. Do you have any advice?

B: Just remember, brevity is the soul of wit.

4. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

按照字面意思来看，这句话是说一次被骗是骗者的羞耻；两次被骗是受骗者的羞耻。其实是在告戒人们要善于吸取教训，引以为戒，否则一再受到损失就是自己的问题。下面给大家一个例子：

A: I did a stupid thing. I lent John some money.

B: Again? This is the third time.

A: I know. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

5. Rules are made to be broken.
