DON’T MAKE A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL
英文諺語 DON’T MAKE A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL 勿小題大作（勿誇大其辭）
米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修
To exaggerate, to interpret a specific situation as being worse than it really is. The idea for this phrase is this: You are taking something small, such as a molehill, and your making it out to be bigger than it truly is. This expression is typically applied to problems people have. Often times, people will argue or cause trouble over the most insignificant things. Hence, someone who escalates a small problem into a larger one is said to be overreacting, or as the phrase puts it, they are ‘making a mountain out of a molehill.’

When in Rome, do as the Romans do 入境隨俗
米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修
每個地方都有自己的傳統風俗，當你到別的地方旅遊或居住時，就要入境隨俗，英諺也有相同的說法：When in Rome, do as the Romans do.（在羅馬的時候，要學習羅馬人），意思是「入境隨俗」。說要融入當地文化，可以這樣表達：Try to blend in.（嘗試融入），也可提醒別人不要過份突出自己：Don’t draw attention to yourself.（別突出自己），如果某人太過標奇立異，你可對他說：You stand out like a sore thumb.（你像支疼痛的拇指一樣突出）。

英文諺語 Do to others as you would have them do to you 己所欲施於人
Do to others as you would have them do to you
己所欲施於人
米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修
“己所不欲，勿施於人”是指：自己不想要的東西，切勿強加給別人。孔子所強調的是，人應該寬恕待人，應提倡“恕”道，唯有如此才是仁的表現。 “恕”道是“仁”的消極表現，而其積極表現便是“己欲立而立人，己欲達而達人”。孔子所闡釋的仁以“愛人”為中心，而愛人這種行為當然就包括著寬恕待人這一方面。

英文諺語 Clothes make the man
Clothes make the man 人要衣裝，佛要金裝
米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修
“Clothes Make the Man" refers to the fact that when people see a person look well-dressed, they assume that person is a professional, capable, and rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. If you dress like the president of a Fortune 500 company, people will see your potential and you’ll be more likely to achieve your goal. If you dress in ratty clothes and messy hair, people will think you won’t achieve much in life, and your job and life will probably fit.
