英语写作中如何引用谚语
众所周知，谚语乃是一种语言的精华，寓意深刻，表达隽永。在考研写作中如能适当地引用一些谚语，可以为文章增辉添彩。一些同学在平时的学习中积累了一些谚语，但在写作时不知道该如何将它们恰当地引用到文章中去，本文拟根据近年来《纽约时报》引用谚语的情况，总结出英语中常见的引用谚语的地道表达法，供同学们写作时模仿使用。
谚语在英语中叫proverb，引用时经常会在其前面酌情加上old, Chinese, English, Russian之类的形容词；动词一般用go, say, state, has it, put it等，在这些动词后面用逗号或冒号皆可。谚语可加双引号(这时谚语的第一个字母要大写)，也可不加双引号(这时第一个字母一般不大写)。引用谚语的表达方式常见的有如下十种：
1) A proverb goes / says, ---
2) As a / the proverb goes / says, ---

有一个古老的俄罗斯谚语说，“。”(May 17, 1984)
谚语作为群众集体智慧的结晶，多具有鲜明的民族性和地域特色。由于中西文化的差异，一些在汉语中人们耳熟能详的谚语却未必为西方人所理解。所以在引用汉语谚语时，如果中国特色过于浓厚，则可舍其形而取其意，写成英语中与之意思对等的西方谚语。例如，有的同学想表达这个意思：本性难移，于是写道：As a Chinese proverb goes, a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit. 这样写不但失之粗鄙，还会让爱犬的西方人大惑不解。所以，这个意思宜写成A leopard cannot change its spots. 或者A fox may grow gray, but never good.

英语习语与谚语中的“hundred”
习语中“hundred”并非表示精确数字，往往强调数量之多，如：
by the hundred（by hundreds） （数以百计，大批大批地）;
a cool hundred（[口]百镑巨款，巨款）；
hundred percent（百分之百，完全地）;
hundreds of thousands of people（成千上万的人）；
hundreds of millions of people（亿万人）
eg. “a hundred to one”一百比一，指概率极高（high probability），非常可能。
eg. “ninety－nine out of a hundred”意义与前者类似：百分之九十九，几乎全部，差不多总是。
eg. “a hundred and one”许多，如：in a hundred and one ways（千方百计地）
eg. “We have a hundred and one things to do.”并非具体说明要做一百零一件事，而是强调 “有许多事要做”。
eg. “hundreds and thousands” 指的是糕点上作点缀用的`小蜜饯（或小糖果）。不过，“great(or long） hundred” 指的是实数，意同 “six score”，或 “one hundred and twenty” 一百二十。
谚语中，“hundred”更是虚指，强调 “多”，而且 通常与 “一” 形成对照。笔者收集整理如下：
A fool may throw a stone into a well which a hundred wise men cannot put out． 傻子一个投石井内，智者百位难以捞回 （或：一愚闯祸，百智难补）。
