LUYỆN DỊCH THÀNH NGỮ BÁO CHÍ P6 _ GS.TS ĐỖ HỮU VINH

Here are some of the more common expressions I can recall off the top of my head. I thought it would make a fun post to share some of these – maybe it will jog an idea for your next writing project. Please feel free to add to the list in the comments. And if you know any fun facts about the sayings, please share them (for example, you can apparently judge the value of a horse by looking at its teeth): A stitch in time saves nine Blow off steam Can’t hold a candle to Close, but no cigar Eyes bigger than stomach It’s coming down to the wire It’s time to face the music That’s a horse of a different color Somebody dropped a dime on him A word to the wise A leopard cannot change his spots A fool and his money are soon parted A penny saved is a penny earned This too shall pass Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Birds of a feather flock together Cheaters never prosper Cold hands, warm heart Don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched Don’t upset the apple cart Fight fire with fire Finders keepers, losers weepers Great minds think alike Honesty is the best policy If the shoe fits, wear it If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery It takes one to know one Keep your chin up Less is more Treat others as you want to be treated Misery loves company All publicity is good publicity (so not true) Money talks (BS walks) Never put off to tomorrow what you can do today
