江河日下
- Peter
《溫故知新》
自從那次心臟病發作之後,他的健康便江河日下。
*After the heart attack his health ever since has been on the decline.
*going from bad to worse.
*the rivers daily decrease their flow.
《江人補漏》
因為那學期他很少唸書,現在才要拼命強記,準備期末考,已是江心補漏。
*Because he had studied very little during the semester , it was too late to cram for the final exam now.
*mend a leaking boat in midstream.
*too late.
《江山易改,本性難移》
江山易改,本性難移,可以由一再回到監獄的囚犯人數看出。
*A leopard cannot change its spots, as can be seen by the number of convicts who return to prison over and over again.
*a leopard cannot change its spots .
*it’s easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change a person’s nature. (Peter)
