地道表达
You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.
1. 解词释义
此句是美国的一条谚语。字面意思是“想吃煎蛋卷,就得打鸡蛋。”跟中文中说的“天下没有白吃的午餐。”意思相近。引申为“不破不立”“欲达目的,必付代价”“有得必有失”。
2. 拓展例句
A: I failed in the final exam because I had not studied too hard.
我没有很用功学习,我考试没有及格。
B: Now, you learn the lesson. You cannot make omelet without breaking eggs.
现在你知道错了呀,做任何事情不努力的话,是得不到结果的。
Ps 1:make progress的意思是“取得进步”。例如:
Modesty1 helps one to make progress, conceit2 makes one lag behind.
虚心使人进步,骄傲使人落后。
This was a refusal to change, to make progress.
这就是墨守成规, 不愿进步。
Ps 2:try one’s best的意思是“努力,尽力”。例如:
I try my best, but the coach finds fault with everything I do.
我已经尽力了,但是教练仍然百般对我做的每一件事挑剔。
We must try our best to lay his doubts.
我们要尽力消除他的顾虑。
