在雅思口语的评分标准里面，对地道本土语言的应用能够起到提分的作用噢~所谓的地道表达包括idioms，phrasal verbs and proverbs（or sayings）。idioms & phrasal verbs在范例中圈哥给大家分享了不少，今天来推荐一些高大上的proverbs。他们摘自外国名著《圣经》，《伊索寓言》等等，而且此类表达都是和动物有关的，一下子看上去还真分辨不出是啥意思~ 烤鸭们拉下去看看，有哪些是你觉得用得上的，那就赶快mark起来咯！ Birds of a feather flock together. 物以类聚，人以群分。 Example: My friend Eliza and I are very much alike, so we hung out all the time, just like what they say birds of a feather flock together. Fine feathers make fine birds. 人要衣装，马要鞍。 Example: Fine feathers make fine birds. My roommate proved this in a perfect way since I met him in my first day in college. A gloved cat catches no mice. 戴手套的猫，抓不到老鼠。（过于小心谨慎难成大事） Example: A gloved cat catches no mice, so I can imagine how hard it's been for my uncle to make his company this successful today. Care kills a cat. 忧虑愁死猫（猫有九条命都被忧愁杀死了，何况是只有一条命的人呢）。 Example: “Care kills a cat.” That’s what I said to my family whenever they worry too much about everything. Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. 鸡蛋未孵出，先别数小鸡。（不要过早乐观） Example: It’s quite possible that I can get the job, but I also tell myself do not count the chickens before they’re hatched. Love me, love my dog. 爱屋及乌 Example: I really adore that restaurant in the next block, even the café near to it seems wonderful！I supposed that’s what they say about love me, love my dog. Barking dogs don’t (seldom) bite. 爱叫的狗少咬人。 Example: As an old saying puts it, barking dog don’t bite. So a little disagreement won’t cost the relationship between my friend and me.
