俗话说江⼭易改,本性难移,这个俗话常⽤形容那些改不了旧习的⼈们。英⽂中也有相同的表达:old habits die hard.
  It’s no doubt that we all have bad habits. As the saying goes, “old habits die hard”, our earnest attempts to break those habits often end in frustration.
  (毫⽆疑问,我们都有不好的习惯。正如俗话所说:本性难移,我们认真的努⼒要改掉它却总以失败告终。)
  这⾥的idiom就是old habits die hard.从字⾯上很容易就知道他的意思是旧习惯很难死掉,就是本性难移啦。“Old habits die hard” is used to say that it is difficult to make people change their attitudes or behaviour。注意这个⽚语还可以表达为:old traditions/customs die hard
  如:
  She never demands that his husband stop smoking because she knows it isn‘t necessary. As the saying goes, “old traditions die hard.”
发誓的英文  (她从来不要求他的丈夫戒烟,因为她知道这是没有必要的。正如俗话所⾔“本性难移嘛。)
  中国还有句俗话叫世上⽆难事,只怕有⼼⼈,它告诉我们只要⼼中有志,就能克服困难达到⽬标,所以有⼈称成“有志者事竟成”,呵呵,英⽂中还真有这个⽚语呢?
  Perhaps there is an element of truth in sayings that old habits die hard, but there is another saying called “where there is a will, there is a way”. It tells us that if you keep a stiff upper lip to chase your goal, you will get successful.
  (也许,俗语本性难移有可信之处。但是也有另⼀个俗话叫有志者事竟成。它告诉我们如果你坚定不移的追求你的⽬标,你就会获得成功。)
  这个⽚语where there is a will, there is a way从字⾯上也很容易理解:哪⼉有了志⽓(有了必胜的信念),就会有⼀条路(通往成功的路),所以就是有志者事竟成的意思啦。It is used to say that if you really want to do something, you will find a way to succeed.
  We have failed so many times to do this experiment. But as the saying goes, “where there is will, there is way”. Let’s try it again.
  (我们的实验已经失败很多次了。但是俗话说有志者事竟成,让我们再试⼀次。)
  结束语:英语学习也许真的很难,不过俗话说的好,有志者事竟成(where there is a will, there is a w
ay),只要努⼒,就能成功的学好它。不过关健是要克服我们的惰性,许多⼈曾不⽌⼀次的发誓要学好英语,可是最终因为⾃⼰的惰性⽽不得不放弃,所谓本性难移呀(old habits die hard)!
