Quarrel with bread and butter
自绝生路，砸自己的饭碗
Bread and butter, here, indica te the means of one?s living. (That is why we say …he is the bread winner of the family?). If a sub-ordinate in an organisation is quarrelsome or if he is not patient enough to bear the reprimand he deserves, gets angry and retorts or provokes the higher-up, the top man dismisses him from the job. So, he loses the job that gave him bread and butter. Hence we say, he quarrelled with bread and butter (manager or the top man) and lost his job.
例：1.Do not quarrel with your bread and butter.
不可自绝生路。
2.Do not quarrel with your bread and butter
【谚】不要砸自己的"饭碗"。
3.You may not like office work but it is no use to quarrel with your bread and butter, you have no other means of livelihood.
你可能不喜欢办公室工作，但厌弃自己的职业是无益的，因为你没有其它的生活手段。

Golden rule
The golden rule is the most essential or fundamental rule associated with something. Originally, it was not a general reference to an all purpose first rule applicable to many groups or protocols, but referred to a verse in the Bible about treating people they way you would want them to treat you, which was considered the First Rule of behavior towards all by all.
黄金规则；金科玉律；指导原则
例：The golden rule is to treat others as you would want to be treated. 重要的原则是你希望别人怎样对待你，你就怎样对待别人。
The golden rule of teaching is to be clear.简洁明了是教学的金科玉律。

Flash in the pan
If something is a flash in the pan, it is very noticeable but doesnt last long, like most singers, who are very successful for a while, then forgotten.
Flash本身有“闪光”的意思，可以引申为瞬间即逝的现象，因此这个短语常用来形容短暂不持久的功名和成就，就是我们常说的“昙花一现”。
从字面上看flash in the pan，有两种不同的理解方法：一种把flash in the pan解释为“淘金盆里的反光”，另一种解释为“枪盘上的火光”，这句话是比喻古老的手枪走火而射不出的现象。总之，这个短语的意思不外乎“空欢喜一场，好景不长”。凡是一个人或一件事情的发展上有先威而无后劲的便可以说那是flash in the pan了。
来看两个例句：
His brilliant novel turned out to be a flash in the pan; he never wrote another one.（他的这篇极为出色的小说竟是昙花一现，再没有能写出第二篇来。）
The singer was just another flash in the pan who dropped out of sight after one hit record.（那个歌手也是昙花一现，只出了一张流行唱片就默默无闻了。）
Mind your Ps and Qs
Mind your Ps and Qs is an English expression meaning "mind your manners", "mind your language", "be on your best behaviour" or similar.
造个句子：She told her son to mind his Ps and Qs at the banquet。（她让儿子在宴会上要注意自己的言行。）
Wet behind the ears
Someone who is wet behind the ears is either very young or inexperienced.
乳臭未干、言行幼稚
例如：You are still wet behind the ears.（你还嫩了点儿。）
Call someone on the carpet
to call someone before an authority to be scolded or reprimanded
这个短语从字面意思来看，是“把某人叫到地毯上”。据说，在20世纪初，每当某人被传讯到铺有地毯的上级领导的办公室时，被传讯的人往往会被上级狠狠地批评一顿。所以后来人们就将这个短语比作“谴责、批评某人”。还有人认为
这个短语的意思是“把某人叫来让他跪在地毯上”。不管哪个解释更正确，call someone to the carpet都有“谴责或训斥某人”的意思。
Carpet这个单词大家一定都很熟悉了，它最早来源于拉丁语中的carpere。Carpere在拉丁语中的意思是“扯，撕，撕破”，人类可能就是通过把一些凌乱的碎布拼凑起来而发明了现在的地毯。直到15世纪，carpet最常用的意思仍然是桌布或床单，所以，当时on the carpet的意思就和我们现在的on the table的意思一样，指得是“某事被提交考虑，被提到桌面上”。
后来，社会上渐渐开始流行在卧室内铺地毯，而当时，只是有钱人才能享受花花绿绿的地毯，穷人家仍然家徒四壁。所以，地毯也成了有钱人身份的象征。后来，on the carpet渐渐演变为现在的意思。
来看一个例句：
He was called on the carpet last week for being late to work three times. 上星期，他由于迟到三次而受到批评。
The salesman was called on the carpet by his boss for losing the big sale. 因为丢掉了一个大单子，那个推销员被老板狠狠地骂了一顿。
New kid on the block
A new kid on the block is a person who has recently joined a company, organisation, team, etc, and does not know how things work yet.
初来乍到的人；新人；新来的
例：There are already 30 kids on the block!
已经有30个新人了。
Dear John letter
A "Dear John letter" is a letter written to a husband or boyfriend to inform him their relationship is over, usually because the author has found another lover. Dear John Letters are often written out of an inability or unwillingness to inform the man in person. The reverse situation, in which someone writes to his wife or girlfriend to break off the relationship, is referred to as a "Dear Jane letter."
Dear John letter: 情人之间的绝交信，一般是寄给丈夫或者男朋友的，告知其感情结束，大多数是因为女主人公找到另一个爱人了。反过来如果将这样一封信寄给妻子或者女朋友的话，应该称之为“Dear Jane letter”。
中国有个说法叫作“鸿雁传情”，指的是情侣通过写信互相表达爱意。但是如果收到的是“Dear John Letter”的话，那就大事不妙了。因为在西方，Dear John Letter指的是情人写给对方的绝交信。
“Dear John Letter”成为一个大众词汇是在第二次世界大战的时候。男人们应征入伍，留下了他们的妻子或女朋友。由于常年在外征战，他们的情人纷纷移情别恋，另寻他人。这样的绝交信往往以“Dear John”来称呼绝交对象。信的开头一般也是固定的：“我已经找到了我的另一半，但他不是你。所以我想我们还是分开的好。”
可以想象，在战场上收到远方爱人的绝交信对奋勇作战的战士来说是十分痛苦的，更为痛苦的是他们都被统一地称呼为“Dear John”。因为这样的信带给战士们的往往是刻骨铭心的伤感于是“Dear John Letter”在战后广为流传。
有趣的是，“Dear John Letter”还引出了另外一个词组“That is all she wrote”。二战时在军队中有一个流传很广的笑话：一名士兵将女友的来信念给战友们听。“Dear John”，他刚一开口就停住了。战友们催他继续往下念，他说：“That is all s he wrote.”（她就写了这么多，我被甩了！）

英文经典谚语（俗语）30例详解 老外平时除使用许多俚语（slang）外，也常夹些格言（adage）、俗语（proverb）、引语（quotation）、警句（saying）或是众所周知的道理（truism）。这些玩儿，也与中文里不少的格言或俗语等意义相近。使用起来，颇有「异曲同工」之妙。 1.Like attracts（或draws）like. 意思是：相同的人吸引相同的人。(like 指similar people）这与另一句谬语「Birds of a feather flock together.」（相同羽毛的鸟在一起）意义相似。（a=same）也就是咱们常说的「物以类聚」或「同声相应，同气相求」。 2.(Too much) familiarity breeds contempt. 意思是说：相处过於亲密，就会产生侮慢之心（不尊重）（即low opinion）（breed = create）这句话又与另一句俗语「Too thick does not stick.」（太稠或太浓反而黏不住）意思相近。也就是说：「closeness brings disagreement.」（亲不敬，熟生蔑）; 就是劝人：「君子之交淡如水」或「保持距离，以策安全」。 3.Once bitten（或bit），twice shy. 就是说：一次被咬，下次胆小。或是一次上当，下次小心。（shy = avoid）动词时态：bite, bit, bitten（或bit）这又与另一句俗语「A burnt child fears（或dreads）the fire.」（被灼伤的小孩怕火）相似。说白些，就是：When you have bad experience, you don't want to have the same experience again. 这不就是「一朝被蛇咬，见绳也心惊」或「一日被蛇咬，十年怕草绳」吗？ 4.A stitch in time save nine. 意思是：「一针及时省九针」。也是「一针不补，十针难缝」或「小洞不补，大洞叫苦」的味道。这句警语与「An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.」（一分的预防，胜於十分的治疗）意义相近。此外，还有：「Don't wait for a rainy day to fix the roof.（不要等到下雨时才去修补屋顶）; 或「Always prepare for a rainy day.」或「Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.」（做最坏的打算和最好的希望）这些警语，说的都是「未雨绸缪」。 5.Old habits die hard. 意思是说：改掉老习惯很不容易。「It is difficult to break an old habit.」这与另一句谚语：「You can not teach an old dog new tricks.」（你不能教老狗新把戏）。这就是所谓「江山易改，本性难移」。 6.Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 意思是：一个人不在时，使人内心更想念。 「When a person is absent, we may think of him／her more often.」与「久别情深」、「眼不见，心更念」、「人去情渐深」，或是「一日不见如隔三秋」的意味相近。 7.A penny saved is a penny earned. 据说这是Ben Franklin 的引语。照字面意义是：能存一分钱，就是赚了一分钱。後来有人改口说：Take care of your pennies（=pence）and the pounds (=dollars）will take care of themselves. 说白些，就是：If you save small amount of money, you will eventually have a large sum of money. 就是中国人所谓「积少成多，集腋成裘」。（这句话也可指小事谨慎，大事自成。） 8.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.意思是说：当在罗马时，就照罗马人的（生活）方式去

Part One I had only recently seen John in a restaurant. The news of his death came as a bolt from the blue She found the keys she had lost last month, which was like a bolt from the blue A bolt from the blue Meaning：A complete surprise, like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky. Origin：This has the feel of a Shakespearian or Biblical phrase, but it isn't as old as it sounds. There are several forms of it: 'out of the blue', 'a bolt out of the blue', etc. The earliest citation is Thomas Carlyle, in The French Revolution, 1837: "Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the Blue, has hit strange victims." It is unpleasant to hear him speak on national topics, for he is a bird of ill omen. 叫他谈论国事是不愉快的，因为他常出不吉之言。 a bird of ill omen 中国有句老话:“夜猫子进宅，无事不来”，可见猫头鹰是种不吉利的象征。它往往和黑暗、神秘甚至死亡联系起来。然而在日本，猫头鹰却是吉利和幸福的代表。 奥运会的吉祥物 雕像、挂钟、水壶、牙签盒，甚至还有女士佩戴的胸针 They were only crying crocodile tears at the old man's funeral because nobody had really liked him. 在老人的葬礼上，他们在假装慈悲，因为他们之中没有谁喜欢过他。 We need not hope for lower taxes in the future ─ that would be crying for the moon. 我们不应抱任何希望将来会降低税收，这是根本不可能的事。 “不可能”，“没门”的译法 No way/There is no way! Impossible! Out of the question/That's out of the question! Not a chance! Hopeless! Pigs might fly! The sun might rise in the west! Never/Never ever ever! You are crying for the moon! Street Arabs are produced by slums and not by original sin. 流浪儿是贫民窟的产物，而不是原始罪恶的产物。 John is ashamed of his humble background. That is his Achilles' heel. 约翰因出身卑贱而自惭形秽，这是他的致命弱点。 Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own; in pain and sickness it would still be dear. 在我看来，你身上的每一个细胞都像我自己的细胞一样亲，即使你痛苦你有病，也还是一样亲。 I'll play old Gooseberry with the office, and make you glad to buy me out at a good high figure. 我要在工作上故意捣蛋，使你不得不付出高价收买我。 play gooseberry (British humorous) to be with two people who are having a romantic relationship and who would prefer to be alone. “Best be off to bed, my boy ─ ho, ho!”“No, no. We know a trick worth two of that. We won’t go home till morning, till day light does appear!” “孩子，最好上床睡吧——嗬，嗬！”“不，不，你不必跟我们玩那一套。不到明天，不到天大亮我们不归家。
