A man is not old as long as he is pursuing something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams (J Barrymore)

As long as a person has something to pursue, he will not be old. A man is not old until regrets replace dreams. (Barrymore)

As long as it is a commonly used conjunction, it has two meanings. The first meaning is that since, because, it is close to since, for example, as long as you provide this sports car, I will accept it. Since you want to give me this sports car, I will accept it. The second meaning is that as long as the conditional adverbial clause is introduced, it is more common than the first meaning, which is the usage in proverbs.

For example, I'll let her go as long as you give me ten thousand pounds. In this case, it can usually be replaced with, provided that. If you give me ten thousand pounds, I will let her go. But obviously, the premise is more formal.

There is also a phrase in this sentence: instead of of, which means to replace, and the here must not be omitted. For example, in our life, computers are replacing televisions. For another example, the word "replace" can replace "take the place of" in the above example. Is it a little confusing? In the above example, the replacement can also be replace.

A good education has great attraction to a person.

A good education is very important to people. A good education gives people great benefits. )

Pull in this sentence has its special usage. Pull is usually a verb, meaning to drag, pull and pull; But pull here is a noun usage, which means influence, giving you some advantages, informational special influence.

This sentence shows that a person's success will not only be influenced by congenital factors, but also a good education after tomorrow is essential.

Let's look at the following sentence:

The reputation of his family has brought him great influence in this town.

In this small town, his surname has brought him many benefits.

Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about tomorrow.

This sentence comes from the Bible, which means that everything in the future will be arranged by God, so don't worry about tomorrow.

There is no royal road to true love.

This sentence comes from Shakespeare's work A Midsummer Night's Dream. True love often experiences many setbacks.

Of course, here is not the meaning of course, but the meaning of process, progress and course. Smooth-no problems or difficulties, no problems, no difficulties, smooth.

Only the love that has gone through hardships is the real love, and it also lets us know how to cherish it.

People are divided into groups.

A feather, here means having the same feather. Sheep, birds, the phrase group can be interpreted as a group of people, a group of people.

Generally speaking, birds with the same feathers get together. Don't think you are like-minded. In fact, this sentence is usually used in a derogatory sense, meaning "birds of a feather". So we should pay special attention to this proverb in the future.

6. Quality is better than quantity. Quality is better than quantity.

Quality-the degree to which something is excellent; Stand with good quality; Quantity-a measurable fact; Amount and quantity.

I think everyone knows that there is a saying in philosophy that only the accumulation of quantity can make a qualitative leap. Explain that the accumulation of quantity is also very important, but at the same time of quantity accumulation, don't ignore the quality requirements.

7. A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Keep your distance and friendship will last forever.

Hedge, as a noun here, is interpreted as a hedge, an obstacle, that is, something used for isolation. Here is another sentence to teach you. How do we usually say "one foot on two boats" in English? That's Hedge one's bet, where Hedge is used as a verb, meaning to bet on both sides to prevent losses. By extension, it is "two ships at the same time."

This sentence actually means "a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water".

A good fence makes a good neighbor.

8. The only way to make you stand out from the competition is through service.

Only service can really make you stand out from the competition.

Distinguish means to distinguish, often used with from and between. For example, I can't tell a rose from a Chinese rose. I can't tell a rose from a Chinese rose. This sentence can also be said that I can't tell a rose from a Chinese rose.

But the meaning of "to be separated from ..." in this famous saying is different from that in this example. It means "make it different, different, and thus different from others". In the fierce competition, only high-quality and distinctive services can make enterprises stand out among many competitors and occupy a place in the competition.

When you attend an interview, you might as well ask yourself, "What's the difference between me and other applicants?"

9. An open enemy is better than a false friend. An open enemy is better than a false friend.

This sentence also implies another meaning, which is what we in China often say: "An open gun is easier to hide than an open enemy." .

Openness-no hidden or secret actions, feelings or intentions; Open, here as an adjective. It should be noted that when open is used as an adjective, it can only be placed before nouns, such as: open secret;

False-untrue, false, hypocritical, untrue;

Better ... than is a comparative sentence, which means better than. ...

10, the happy time flies. Good times are the shortest.

Pleasant: Pleasant and beautiful; Fei: How time flies. It is used here to describe how time flies. Other uses like this include: time flies.

This proverb tells us that happy time will pass by inadvertently, and we should cherish every moment.

1 1, the joy shared with others is more about enjoyment. It's fun to have fun with others.

Share with: share with * * * *; Share it.

For example:

I want to share the pie with you. I want to share this pie with you.

In our daily life, we often hear the question: Can you tell me what is true happiness?

Whenever we hear such a question, we are always speechless and don't know how to answer it.

Now we can define "true happiness": the happiness shared with others is more enjoyable.

12, the miracle will never stop. Miracles will never stop.

Surprise, something that surprises and admires you; Miracle; Wonders; Miracle. To create a miracle, we can say: create a miracle or create a miracle; Because miracles mean strangeness and surprise.

Stop doing something; Stop; Termination.

It rained all the way to the seaside. The rain has stopped.

Not stopping means constantly, constantly.

I wonder if you have noticed such a word that often appears in English news: ceasefire, agreement to stop fighting for a period of time, especially in order to reach a more permanent agreement. In fact, this means a ceasefire.

This proverb tells us never to give up hope, because miracles will never stop.

13, tie your carriage to the star. Put your cart on the star. /People should be ambitious.

This sentence means that people should have lofty ideals and determination to transcend all worldly things.

Hitch, fasten something, which is interpreted here as being hooked; Be tied; Trapped. Failure ... to ... is to tie the bolt ... The word has many interpretations:

(1) The problem of delaying something for a short time. Fault; Obstacles for example, the discussion ended smoothly. We can express it this way: the discussion was not successful.

(2) When told to ask drivers of passing vehicles for a free ride, put out your hat and thumb. Free ride. Free hitchhikers, we say: hitchhikers.

A sturdy vehicle with four wheels, used to carry heavy objects, usually drawn by horses; A large open container pulled by a train, used to carry goods. (inbre) means a carriage; In British English, it refers to (railway) freight cars.

Everyone needs special attention when using this proverb. Although this sentence implies that people should be ambitious, it may also be derogatory, that is, aiming too high.
