英语习语成语

俚语（slang）和习语（idiom）含有大量文化信息，是西方语言和历史的结晶。

我将给大家介绍8句西方的俚语以及它们对应的中国成语。

◆顺其自然Let nature take its course这个短语的意思是“车到山前必有路，船到桥头自然直”，用来劝慰人们遇事不怕事，以不变应万变。

比如，小伙伴已经为某个考试准备了很久，但当天还是会炒鸡紧张，你就可以对她说：Stay calm and let nature take its course.淡定，顺其自然。

◆不自量力bite off more than one can chew这个表达按字面理解是“贪多嚼不烂”，比喻自不量力，承担超越自己能力的事情。

俗话说，没有金刚钻，就别揽瓷器活，人贵有自知之明嘛～I think you bit off more than you could chew when you agreed to paint this house by yourself.我觉得你当初同意自己粉刷房子就是不自量力了。

忍无可忍That is the last straw.这一说法起源于一古老谚语the last straw which breaks the camel's back（压死骆驼的最后一根稻草），比喻最后一击，忍耐的极限。

He's always been rude to me, but it was the last straw when he started insulting my mother.他总是很无礼，但是他辱骂我妈我就忍无可忍了。

◆见机行事play it by ear这一表达源于音乐，就是说不用看乐谱，单凭耳朵和记忆就能弹奏出美妙的乐曲，后来引申为“根据事情的发展情况来决定下一步怎么做”，也就是我们所说的“见机行事”啦。

比如，有小伙伴约你看电影，你不确定有没有时间，就可以说：I can't promise I can make it tonight. Let's play it by ear.我不能保证晚上一定能来，我们再看吧。
