或All we hear is words,but there is no action. (只动嘴不动手)
或Actions and words should go hand in hand. (言行必须一致)
另外,还有英语里还有这样的说法:
An empty barrel makes biggest sound.(空洞的话说得太多了。)
人不可貌相,海水不可斗量
有人译为:
A man can not be known by his look,nor can the ocean be measured by a dipper.
这样的译法只是直译,如果能够稍加修改,老外就能了解:
A man can not be judged by his appearance,nor can the water in the sea be measured by a bucket.
不过,老外通常的说法是这样的:
We can not judge a person by appearance only. 或 You can not judge a book by its cover.
(意思是:一本书的好坏取决于它的内容,而不是它的封面装帧的漂亮与否。)
口蜜腹剑,笑里藏刀
有人译为 His mouth is honey;his heart is a sword.
外国人听了会对这样的比喻摸不着头脑,如果要形容某人口蜜腹剑,笑里藏刀,我们可以说 with honey on ones lip and murder in ones heart,或者 honey-mouthed but dagger-hearted.也可以更直接的译成He is an evil man who has a mouth that praises and a hand that kills.
