一、辨析saying, proverb, quote的涵义
二、作文中“常言道……”、“正如……所说”的多种表达 ‘Accidents will happen ’, as the saying goes. 常言道：“意外事，总难免。 An old Arab proverb says, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'. 一句古老的阿拉伯谚语说，“敌人的敌人是朋友。” When women joined the organization, it‘took on a new look,’ as news reports put it . 女性加入以后，就如新闻报道中所说，那个机构“面貌焕然一新”。 As a Chinese proverb has it: ‘The fish will be the last to discover the water.’ 正如中国有句谚语所说：“当事者迷。” 三、五个注意事项 1. 谚语在作文的主要用处有三：文章开头引入话题、文中用作支撑观点的论据、文末言简意赅地总结全文； 2. 确保谚语表达形式正确，否则会弄巧成拙； 3. 尽量避免“被过度使用的（overused proverbs）”谚语; 4. 不要强行使用，Let proverbs fit naturally into a sentence. Don’t force them in. 5. 在口语和作文中不断尝试，Consistently practise, revise and repeat! 6. 引用的谚语数量适中，数量不宜超过两个。
