Question

8．对工程师们来说，失之毫厘，谬以千里．
To the engineers，a miss is as good as a mile．

Answer 1

分析 a miss is as good as a mile．

解答 答案：a miss is as good as a mile．这里是谚语失之毫厘，谬以千里的表达，含义是一次失去就像是一英里一样，与…一样用as…as，中间加上形容词或副词，此处加上形容词good，miss表示失去，故答案是a miss is as good as a mile．

点评 常见的谚语的英语表达有：Where there is a will，there is a way．有志者，事竟成．Well begun is half done．好的开端是成功的一半．It is never too late to mend．亡羊补牢，犹为未晚．Light come，light go．来得容易，去得快．Time is money．时间就是金钱．A friend in need is a friend indeed．患难见真交．
