第一部分
misfortunes tell us what fortune is.
不經災難不知福
truth never fears investigation
事實從來不怕調查
all is not gold that glitters
閃光的未必都是金子
a good winter brings a good summer
瑞雪兆豐年
all rivers run into the sea
殊途同歸
a small leak will sink a great ship
千里之堤，潰於蟻穴
all feet tread not in one shoe
眾口難調
beauty is but skin-deep
美麗只是外表罷了
brevity is the soul of wit
簡潔乃智慧之靈魂
do unto others as you would be done by
己所不欲，勿施於人
every bean has its black
金無足赤，人無完人
even woods have ears
隔牆有耳
enough is better than too much
過猶不及
every tub must stand on its own bottom
第二部分
go to the sea，if you would fish well
不入虎穴，焉得虎子
honor to whom honor is due
論功行賞
he travels the fastest who travels alone
曲高和寡
he sits no sure that sits too high
高處不勝寒
he is eloquent enough for whom truth speaks
事實勝於雄辯
he that runs fastest gets the ring
捷足先登
it is a poor mouse that has only one hole
狡兔三窟
justice has long arms
天網恢恢，疏而不漏
kiss and be friends
握手言和
kill two birds with one stone
一箭雙鵰
let’s cross the bridge when we come to it
既來之，則安之
nothing comes wrong to a hungry man
飢不擇食
one cloud is enough to eclipse all the sun
一葉障目，不見泰山
the deed proves the man
觀其行而知其人
人貴自立
every tub must stand on its own bottom
水能載舟，亦能覆舟
give everyone his due
一視同仁
go while the going is good
三十六計，走為上計
good wine needs no bush
酒香不怕巷子深
greatest genius often lies concealed
大智若愚
grasp all， lose all
貪多必失
go to the sea，if you would fish well
不入虎穴，焉得虎子
honor to whom honor is due
論功行賞
he travels the fastest who travels alone
曲高和寡
he sits no sure that sits too high
高處不勝寒
he is eloquent enough for whom truth speaks
事實勝於雄辯
he that runs fastest gets the ring
捷足先登
it is a poor mouse that has only one hole
狡兔三窟
justice has long arms
天網恢恢，疏而不漏
kiss and be friends
握手言和
kill two birds with one stone
一箭雙鵰
