英語のことわざ

Easier said than done


listen!

Imagine you are playing soccer with a friend. By mistake, you kick the ball very high and it gets stuck in a tall tree. Your friend tells you that you have to climb the tree to get the ball. "Easier said than done," you say. This proverb means that it's easy to tell someone to do something ? much easier than actually doing it yourself. Use it when someone suggests that you do something very difficult. You can also use it when you are faced with a problem — e.g., the soccer ball stuck in the tree. You know what has to be done, you know you have to climb the tree to get the ball, but you also know it's very difficult. In those cases, you can say to yourself, "Easier said than done."

Aから始まる英語のことわざ

Adversity makes strange bedfellows

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

A picture is worth a thousand words

An idle brain is the devil's workshop

A leopard can't change its spots

All covet, all lost

Actions speak louder than words

A friend in need is a friend indeed

A bad workman blames his tools

A stumble might prevent a fall

As you sow, so shall you reap

A stitch in time saves nine

A lie well stuck to is as good as the truth.

A fool and his money will soon be parted

A drowning man will clutch at a straw

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

A rolling stone gathers no moss

A man is known by the company he keeps

A bad workman blames his tools
